There are two molecular processes that are essential for living bodies to maintain their life: the molecular recognition, and the self-organization or self-assembly. Binding of a substrate by an enzyme is an example of the molecular recognition, whil...

In 2012, Kim and Hirata derived two generalized Langevin equations (GLEs) for a biomolecule in water, one for the structural fluctuation of the biomolecule and the other for the density fluctuation of water, by projecting all the mechanical variables...

The 3D-reference interaction site model (3D-RISM) molecular solvation theory in combination with the Kovalenko–Hirata (KH) closure is extended to seven heterocyclic liquids to understand their liquid states and to test the performance of the th...

The Three-Dimensional Reference Interaction Site Model (3D-RISM) with Kovalenko−Hirata (KH) closure is applied to calculate the 1,9-Decadiene/Water partition coefficients for a diverse class of compounds. The liquid state of 1,9-Decadiene is represen...

The three-dimensional reference interaction site model of the molecular solvation theory with the Kovalenko–Hirata closure is used to calculate the free energy of solvation of organic solutes in liquid aliphatic ketones. The ketone solvent sites were...

3D-RISM-KH molecular solvation theory based on statistical mechanics has been an engine of the multiscale methods framework, which also includes molecular simulation techniques. Its applications range from the solvation energy of small molecules to t...

Viruses are the most numerous biological form living in any ecosystem. Viral diseases affect not only people but also representatives of fauna and flora. The latest pandemic has shown how important it is for the scientific community to respond quickl...

The stability of a protein is determined from its properties and surrounding solvent. In our previous study, the total energy as a sum of the conformational and solvation free energies was demonstrated to be an appropriate energy function for evaluat...

The statistical mechanics-based 3-dimensional reference interaction site model with the Kovalenko-Hirata closure (3D-RISM-KH) molecular solvation theory has proven to be an essential part of a multiscale modeling framework, covering a vast region of...

Human serum albumin (HSA) is one of the main proteins in human blood plasma and serves as a molecular “taxi” transporting various compounds, including organic compounds, drugs, metal ions, etc., through the circulatory system throughout t...
