SUMMARY:Long Range Interactions and Aqueous Assembly - Richard Remsing\, R
 utgers University
DTSTART:20211018T150000Z

UID:TALK162298@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Christoph Schran
DESCRIPTION:Self-assembly is at the heart of many important processes\, fr
 om biomolecular recognition to materials synthesis and design. In solution
 \, molecular assembly generally involves more than direct solute-solute in
 teractions and can be driven by the solvent. These solvent-mediated forces
  involve local short range interactions\, such as hydrogen bonding in wate
 r\, as well as long range electrostatic interactions like dipolar interact
 ions. In this talk\, I will discuss recent work on the theory and simulati
 on of long range interactions in aqueous solutions. Our approach is rooted
  in local molecular field theory\, which relies on a physically meaningful
  separation of short and long range interactions and models the averaged e
 ffects of long range interactions with effective fields. I will focus on u
 sing these ideas to analyze aqueous interfaces and ion-specific effects on
  protein adsorption to mineral surfaces. Then\, I will conclude with a bri
 ef discussion of how to use these ideas to efficiently model long range in
 teractions in molecular solutions.
