Abstract
We compare a nonlinear model for the dielectric effect with a standard
discontinuous dielectric model.
We also compare both with a discontinuous dielectric model which has an
intermediate value in a region between the low dielectric and high
dielectric regions in the standard model.
These results demonstrate that predictions of the electrostatic environment near the
surface of a protein depend strongly on the behavior of the dielectric near the surface.
