The atomic partial charge is of great importance in many fields, such as chemistry and drug-target recognition. However, conventional quantum-based computing of atomic charges is relatively slow, limiting further applications of atomic charge analysi...
Electrostatics is of paramount importance to chemistry, physics, biology, and medicine. The Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) theory is a primary model for electrostatic analysis. However, it is highly challenging to compute accurate PB electrostatic solvation ...
Drosophila Ncd proteins are motor proteins that play important roles in spindle organization. Ncd and the tubulin dimer are highly charged. Thus, it is crucial to investigate Ncd-tubulin dimer interactions in the presence of ions, especially ions tha...
