Query: Rough interfaces, accurate predictions: The necessity of capillary modes
  in a minimal model of nanoscale hydrophobic solvation   Modern theories of the hydrophobic effect highlight its dependence on length
scale, emphasizing in particular the importance of interfaces that emerge in
the vicinity of sizable hydrophobes. We recently showed that a faithful
treatment of such nanoscale interfaces requires careful attention to the
statistics of capillary waves, with significant quantitative implications for
the calculation of solvation thermodynamics. Here we show that a coarse-grained
lattice model in the spirit of those pioneered by Chandler and coworkers, when
informed by this understanding, can capture a broad range of hydrophobic
behaviors with striking accuracy. Specifically, we calculate probability
distributions for microscopic density fluctuations that agree very well with
results of atomistic simulations, even many standard deviations from the mean,
and even for probe volumes in highly heterogeneous environments. This accuracy
is achieved without adjustment of free parameters, as the model is fully
specified by well-known properties of liquid water. As illustrative examples of
its utility, we characterize the free energy profile for a solute crossing the
air-water interface, and compute the thermodynamic cost of evacuating the space
between extended nanoscale surfaces. Together, these calculations suggest that
a highly reduced model for aqueous solvation can serve as the basis for
efficient multiscale modeling of spatial organization driven by hydrophobic and
interfacial forces.
