Abstract

A new procedure to solve the Poisson-Boltzmann equation is proposed and shown to be efficient. The electrostatic potential due to the reaction field is calculated directly. Self-interactions among the charges are completely eliminated. Therefore, the reference calculation to cancel out the self-energy is not needed. © 1996 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
