Solvent quality and solvent polarity in polypeptides
Synthetic polymers assume a compact/extended conformation in a poor/good solvent. Proteins, formed by both hydrophobic and polar moieties fold in water but not in apolar solvents. This difference can be rationalized and quantified by calculating the solvation free energy.

Chain Conformations and Phase Separation in Polymer Solutions with Varying Solvent Quality [PDF]
Molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the conformations of a single polymer chain, represented by the Kremer-Grest bead-spring model, in a solution with a Lennard-Jones liquid as the solvent when the interaction strength between the polymer and solvent is varied.

Influence of asymmetric depletion of solvents on the electric double layer of charged objects in binary polar solvent mixture [PDF]
For binary solvent mixtures composed of ions and two kinds of polar solvents, electric double layer near a charged object is strongly affected by not only the binary solvent composition but also nature of solvents such as volume and dipole moment of a solvent molecule. Accounting for difference in sizes of solvents and orientational ordering of solvent

Machine Learning Implicit Solvation for Molecular Dynamics [PDF]
Accurate modeling of the solvent environment for biological molecules is crucial for computational biology and drug design. A popular approach to achieve long simulation time scales for large system sizes is to incorporate the effect of the solvent in a mean-field fashion with implicit solvent models. However, a challenge with existing implicit solvent
