Empirical energy functions can fulfill the demands required by computational studies of biochemical and biophysical systems. The mathematical equations in empirical energy functions include relatively simple terms to describe the physical interactions that dictate the structure and dynamic properties of biological molecules. In addition, empirical force fields use atomistic models, in which atoms are the smallest particles in the system rather than the electrons and nuclei used in quantum mechanics. These two simplifications allow for the computational speed required to perform the required number of energy calculations on biomolecules in their environments to be attained, and, more important, via the use of properly optimized parameters in the mathematical models the required chemical accuracy can be achieved. The use of empirical energy functions was initially applied to small organic molecules, where it was referred to as molecular mechanics [4], and more recently to biological systems [2,3]. 

In this chapter we provide an introductory overview of the imphcit solvent models commonly used in biomolecular simulations. A number of questions concerning the formulation and development of imphcit solvent models are addressed. In Section II, we begin by providing a rigorous fonmilation of imphcit solvent from statistical mechanics. In addition, the fundamental concept of the potential of mean force (PMF) is introduced. In Section III, a decomposition of the PMF in terms of nonpolar and electrostatic contributions is elaborated. Owing to its importance in biophysics. Section IV is devoted entirely to classical continuum electrostatics. For the sake of completeness, other computational... 

In the following sections, we describe an implicit solvent model based on this free energy decomposition that is widely used in biophysics. It consists in representing the nonpolar free energy contributions on the basis of the solvent-accessible surface area... 

The first dynamical simulation of a protein based on a detailed atomic model was reported in 1977. Since then, the uses of various theoretical and computational approaches have contributed tremendously to our understanding of complex biomolecular systems such as proteins, nucleic acids, and bilayer membranes. By providing detailed information on biomolecular systems that is often experimentally inaccessible, computational approaches based on detailed atomic models can help in the current efforts to understand the relationship of the strucmre of biomolecules to their function. For that reason, they are now considered to be an integrated and essential component of research in modern biology, biochemistry, and biophysics.

In general these derivatives are safe, their chemical functions being the glycine moiety the same holds for AT,0-carboxymethyl chitosan, as demonstrated for instance by studies intended to assess the efficacy of W,0-carboxymethyl chitosan to limit adhesion formation in a rabbit abdominal surgery model. The inability of fibroblasts to adhere to N,0-carboxymethyl chitosan-coated surfaces suggests that it may act as a biophysical barrier [135].

This approach is, at the same time, the great advantage and a major limitation of membrane potential models. As they are rather compact, models of this type were the first to be used in investigations of the spread of excitation in multi-dimensional tissue representations consisting of relatively large numbers of interconnected excitable elements their role in assessing biophysical behaviour like cardiac impulse propagation is undiminished.
