Overview

This review highlights implicit solvent models' applications in biomolecular systems, indicating their strengths and limitations.

Key Points

  • Implicit solvent models enhance rapid hypothesis testing and long-time sampling in biomolecular systems, addressing key challenges.
  • Current models excel in areas but struggle with ion specificity and entropic effects, underlining the need for better accuracy.
  • Assessment involves both classical continuum electrostatics and modern machine learning-augmented methods for improved efficiency.
  • Hybridization of continuum models and quantum-centric approaches promises advancements in chemical accuracy and predictability.
