FIGURE 5.

(A) Electrostatic solvation energy, of a single RNase Sa monomer in the presence of a crystalline array of replicas. The replicas serve to change the dielectric environment of the single monomer. The infinite array is approached by including more and more distant replicas (n = total number of replicas included). The dashed curve through the data points provides guidance for the eye. (B) Reproduction of when the inhomogeneous dielectric environment is replaced by a uniform dielectric medium. The effective dielectric constant, ɛ_c, of the uniform dielectric medium is varied to match as indicated by the horizontal line.
