The application of the integral equation theory to study the hydrophobic interaction.

ABSTRACT: The Wertheim's integral equation theory was tested against newly obtained Monte Carlo computer simulations to describe the potential of mean force between two hydrophobic particles. An excellent agreement was obtained between the theoretical and simulation results. Further, the Wertheim's integral equation theory with polymer Percus-Yevick closure qualitatively correctly (with respect to the experimental data) describes the solvation structure under conditions where the simulation results are difficult to obtain with good enough accuracy.

The application of the thermodynamic perturbation theory to study the hydrophobic hydration.

Project description:The thermodynamic perturbation theory was tested against newly obtained Monte Carlo computer simulations to describe the major features of the hydrophobic effect in a simple 3D-Mercedes-Benz water model: the temperature and hydrophobe size dependence on entropy, enthalpy, and free energy of transfer of a simple hydrophobic solute into water. An excellent agreement was obtained between the theoretical and simulation results. Further, the thermodynamic perturbation theory qualitatively correctly (with respect to the experimental data) describes the solvation thermodynamics under conditions where the simulation results are difficult to obtain with good enough accuracy, e.g., at high pressures.

Thermodynamics and structure of a two-dimensional electrolyte by integral equation theory.

Project description:Monte Carlo simulations and integral equation theory were used to predict the thermodynamics and structure of a two-dimensional Coulomb fluid. We checked the possibility that integral equations reproduce Kosterlitz-Thouless and vapor-liquid phase transitions of the electrolyte and critical points. Integral equation theory results were compared to Monte Carlo data and the correctness of selected closure relations was assessed. Among selected closures hypernetted-chain approximation results matched computer simulation data best, but these equations unfortunately break down at temperatures well above the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition. The Kovalenko-Hirata closure produces results even at very low temperatures and densities, but no sign of phase transition was detected.

Mercedes-Benz water molecules near hydrophobic wall: integral equation theories vs Monte Carlo simulations.

Project description:Associative version of Henderson-Abraham-Barker theory is applied for the study of Mercedes-Benz model of water near hydrophobic surface. We calculated density profiles and adsorption coefficients using Percus-Yevick and soft mean spherical associative approximations. The results are compared with Monte Carlo simulation data. It is shown that at higher temperatures both approximations satisfactory reproduce the simulation data. For lower temperatures, soft mean spherical approximation gives good agreement at low and at high densities while in at mid range densities, the prediction is only qualitative. The formation of a depletion layer between water and hydrophobic surface was also demonstrated and studied.

A boundary-integral representation for biphasic mixture theory, with application to the post-capillary glycocalyx.

Project description:We describe a new boundary-integral representation for biphasic mixture theory, which allows us to efficiently solve certain elastohydrodynamic-mobility problems using boundary element methods. We apply this formulation to model the motion of a rigid particle through a microtube which has non-uniform wall shape, is filled with a viscous Newtonian fluid, and is lined with a thin poroelastic layer. This is relevant to scenarios such as the transport of small rigid cells (such as neutrophils) through microvessels that are lined with an endothelial glycocalyx layer (EGL). In this context, we examine the impact of geometry upon some recently reported phenomena, including the creation of viscous eddies, fluid flux into the EGL, as well as the role of the EGL in transmitting mechanical signals to the underlying endothelial cells.

Properties of the Lennard-Jones dimeric fluid in two dimensions: an integral equation study.

Project description:The thermodynamic and structural properties of the planar soft-sites dumbbell fluid are examined by Monte Carlo simulations and integral equation theory. The dimers are built of two Lennard-Jones segments. Site-site integral equation theory in two dimensions is used to calculate the site-site radial distribution functions for a range of elongations and densities and the results are compared with Monte Carlo simulations. The critical parameters for selected types of dimers were also estimated. We analyze the influence of the bond length on critical point as well as tested correctness of site-site integral equation theory with different closures. The integral equations can be used to predict the phase diagram of dimers whose molecular parameters are known.

Whitham modulation theory for the Kadomtsev- Petviashvili equation.

Project description:The genus-1 Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP)-Whitham system is derived for both variants of the KP equation; namely the KPI and KPII equations. The basic properties of the KP-Whitham system, including symmetries, exact reductions and its possible complete integrability, together with the appropriate generalization of the one-dimensional Riemann problem for the Korteweg-de Vries equation are discussed. Finally, the KP-Whitham system is used to study the linear stability properties of the genus-1 solutions of the KPI and KPII equations; it is shown that all genus-1 solutions of KPI are linearly unstable, while all genus-1 solutions of KPII are linearly stable within the context of Whitham theory.

Two-dimensional core-softened model with water like properties: Monte Carlo and integral equation study.

Project description:Monte Carlo simulations and integral equation theory were used to study the thermodynamics and structure of particles interacting through the smooth version of Stell-Hemmer interaction. We checked the possibility that a fluid with a core-softened potential reproduces anomalies of liquid water such as the density anomaly, the minimum in the isothermal compressibility as a function of temperature, and others. Critical points of the fluid were also determined. We showed that a potential with two characteristic distances is sufficient for the system to exhibit water-like behavior and anomalies, including the famous density maximum. We also showed that some versions of the integral equation theory completely fail to predict structure of such system, while others only predict it qualitatively.

Correctness of certain integral equation theories for core-softened fluids.

Project description:Integral equation approaches, based on the Ornstein-Zernike equation, provide a fast way to calculate phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties of systems as opposed to time-consuming and computationally expensive computer simulations. However, when employing integral equations it is necessary to introduce simplifications. The Ornstein-Zernike equation merely relates two unknown functions h(r) and c(r), and another relation (closer) between these two functions is needed. The later function cannot be obtained in a closed form and it is always in some approximations. Various approximations exist with each of its own advantages and disadvantages. In this work we extensively tested hyper-netted chain, Percus-Yevick, Kovalenko-Hirata, and Rogers-Young closure on an interaction model with core-softened potential. Convergence domain was established for each method. We calculated pair distribution functions, pressure, and excess energy. Results were compared with Monte Carlo simulation results and literature data from molecular dynamics simulations.

Solvation Effect on the Conformations of Alanine Dipeptide: Integral Equation Approach.

Project description:We present an implicit solvent model based on the extended reference interaction site model (XRISM) integral equation theory, which is a molecular theory of solvation. The solvation free energy is composed of additive potentials of mean force (PMF) of various functional groups. The XRISM theory is applied to determine the PMF of each group in water and NaBr electrolyte solutions. The method has been coupled to Brownian dynamics (BD) and is illustrated here on alanine dipeptide. The results of the method are compared with those obtained by explicit water simulations and other popular implicit solvent models for detailed discussion. The comparison of our model with other methods indicates that the intramolecular correlation and the solvation structure influence the stability of the P(II) and alpha(R) conformers. The results of NaBr electrolyte solutions show that the concentration of electrolyte also has a substantial effect on the favored conformations.
