SolvMol
SolvMol performs calculations of the free energy of polar solvation of
a molecule defined by coordinates of its atoms or atomic groups and a
set of partial charges. The partial charges of the solute interact
with dipoles of the polar solvent which undergo translational and
rotational fluctuations induced by their thermal motion. The algorithm
incorporates the molecular structure of the solvent in terms of a set
of correlation functions. The current implementation is based on the
density correlation function calculated from the Percus-Yevick
solution for hard spheres of the same density and two correlations
functions of dipolar orientations: longitudinal and transverse
structure factors. These latter are obtained from the macroscopic
input for a given solvent (dielectric constant, density, dipole
moment, polarizability, etc.) by using our analytical calculation
scheme. The properties of 83 commonly used molecular liquids and of
some force-field solvents (SPC/E, TIP3P) are included in the solvents
database. The code has the capability to calculate the solvation free
energy and the difference of solvation free energies in two redox
states at different temperatures. In addition, the reorganization
energy associated with the changing redox state (Marcus solvent
reorganization energy of electron transfer) is calculated.
