Electrostatic interactions in water: nonlocal electrostatic approach
M. Vatin, A. Porro, N. Sator +2
Can we avoid molecular dynamics simulations to estimate the electrostatic interaction between charged objects separated by a nanometric distance in water? To answer this question,…

Mitochondrial cristae modeled as an out-of-equilibrium membrane driven by a proton field
Nirbhay Patil, Stéphanie Bonneau, Fréderic Joubert +2
As the places where most of the fuel of the cell, namely ATP, is synthesized, mitochondria are crucial organelles in eukaryotic cells. The shape of the invaginations of the mitocho…

Dielectric response of the water hydration shell of an ion: a field theory approach
Hélène Berthoumieux, Fabien Paillusson
The goal of this work is to propose a simple continuous model that captures the dielectric properties of water at the nanometric scale. We write an electrostatic energy as a functi…
