Abstract

Electrostatic interactions between biological molecules play significant roles in determining their structure and function. Understanding these interactions is therefore an important goal of modern biophysics. These interactions are not easily understood, unfortunately, because most biology occurs in aqueous solution--that is, biological molecules are surrounded by thousands of mobile, polar water molecules and mobile charged ions. This talk, the first in a two-part series, will present the problem of modeling biomolecule electrostatics, a short history of theoretical and computational approaches, and some recent work in the field. The need for efficient, accurate numerical methods will be stressed by example.
