Aplicação da equação de Poisson-Boltzmann ao cálculo de propriedades dependentes do pH em proteínas Aplications of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation to the calculation of pH-dependent properties in proteins

<abstract language="eng">The ability of biomolecules to catalyze chemical reactions is due chiefly to their sensitivity to variations of the pH in the surrounding environment. The reason for this is that they are made up of chemical groups whose ionization states are modulated by pH...
