ABSTRACT:
The effective Born radii of atoms in a molecule are determined using a new molecular modeling technique. In this approach, the electrical polarization component of solvation energy of an atom i is approximated as the electrical polarization energy given by the classical Born equation (Eq. 2), assuming that the Born radius .alpha. is equal to the van der Waals radius of the atom, minus the effects of all surrounding atoms, j, which displace solvent from around atom i. This displacement effect increases with the volume of the atom j and decreases as the fourth power of the separation between atom i and atom j. E.sub.pol for atom i can therefore be calculated using the following equation:
