PropKa is an empirical predictor where the ∆G contributions are captured by Coulombic, desolvation, and intrinsic electrostatic (e.g., hydrogen bonding) energy equations. Default settings were used when performing the calculations. DelPhiPKa, as with all PB methods considered here, calculates the electrostatic potential by numerically solving the PBE using a finite difference method. Based on the DelPhi software, this method uses a smooth Gaussian function to capture the heterogeneous dielectrics of the solute and solvent. Default settings were used except for the salt concentration, which was set according to the experimental setup (Table ).
