A simple model for electrostatic interactions in proteins, based on a distance and position dependent screening of the electrostatic potential, is presented. It is applied in conjunction with a Monte Carlo algorithm to calculate pK ␣ values of ionizable groups in proteins. The purpose is to furnish

We were attracted to the recent article by Sandberg and Edholm 1 (SE) in which the authors describe a fast way to calculate protonation states in proteins by using a distance-and position-dependent screening of the Coulomb potential. Because this article embodies some common misconceptions regarding
In an earlier article, 1 the results of sorption and diffusion for aldehydes and ketones through castor oil-based interpenetrating networks (IPNs) of polyurethanepolystyrene (PU-PS) were obtained in the temperature interval of 25-60°C. In that study, it was observed that
