  Patent 5307120: Method for measuring electrostatic potential
Prior to the measurement of the electrostatic potential of the surface of the photosensitive drum and in the state where the photosensitive drum is not rotated, the surface of the photosensitive drum is subjected to the electrostatic action, such as a charging action, by devices (such as a charger) for a fixed period of time.
In the case of performing an image formation, the electrostatic potential measuring device 6 is arranged at a location where a developing unit is arranged, but the measuring device 6 is not necessary for the purpose of examining the charging characteristics of the photosensitive drum and therefore is removed.
The charger 2 and the electrostatic potential measuring device 6 are used to examine the charging characteristic of the surface of the photosensitive drum 1.

 ROCO Chapter 4: Electrostatic potential
This quantity is related to PE as follows: the electrostatic potential created by a system of charges at a particular point in space, (x, y, z), is equal to the change in potential energy that occurs when a +1 ion is introduced at this point.
Electrostatic potential is both a molecular property and a spatial property.
Potential is large and positive in blue regions, and large and negative in pink region.

 Protein Electrostatic Calculations   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Electrostatic potential calculations, mostly in the form of GRASP [Nicholls et al., 1991] pictures, are used routinely for these purposes and it has become almost mandatory to perform an electrostatic analysis of every newly solved X-ray structure.
The electrostatic potential field (F) is a scalar field, which at each point in space gives the interaction energy between a unit charge and the electric field.
In most studies of protein structures the electrostatic potential field is analysed, because it gives an impression of the electrostatic energy that can be gained or lost when placing a charge in or near the protein.

It is believed, for example, that electrostatic potentials from ionic residues within proteins play a significant role in many aspects of the reactivity of biological systems.
Experiments designed to measure the magnitude of the effect of electrostatic fields on ET rates at the molecular level are of insterest to test theory as well as to begin their utilization in control of excited state reactions.
Since the electrostatic potential on the micellar surfaces can be tuned - utilizing anionic, neutral, and cationic micelles - as well as their mixtures (see below), we can tune the surface potential while measuring the ET rate for the same donor-acceptor pair.

 MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF PROMOTER-POLYMERASE RECOGNITION. ELECTROSTATIC INTERACTIONS IN PROMOTERS RECOGNIZED BY E.COLI ...
Electrostatic potential was calculated in accordance with Coulomb’s law for several tens of promoters recognized by E.coli RNA polymerase Es Some correlation between patterns of electrostatic potential of promoters and their attributing to certain promoter classes was found.
It should be noted that this classification is in agreement with our results of electrostatic analysis of these promoters: their electrostatic potentials are quite similar in general distribution of hills and valleys, although their electrostatic patterns differ in finest details (figure 1 b,c).
Comparative analysis of electrostatic potentials calculated for several tens of promoters indicates that electrostatic field can be an additional component in promoter—polymerase recognition coding acting at the middle distances at initial stage of their interaction.

The potential energy of the system changes by the amount of work done when a charge is displaced in an electric field.
A potential difference of 1 volt between two points means that in carrying a charge of +1 coulomb from one point to the other 1 joule of work would be done.

 The Potential Difference
The change in the potential energy of a charge q when being moved from point A to point B, is the work done by an external force in moving the charge.
The electrostatic potential produced by a finite charge distribution is, by convention, set to zero at infinity.

 Electrostatic Potential
The unit of potential is the volt: 1 J/C 1 V. Because of the need to define a reference point, the potential at a certain point in space has a built-in ambiguity.
When we say "the potential at point P" we really mean to say "the potential at point P with respect to the reference point" or, better yet, "the potential difference between point P and the reference point."
The advantages of potential are, first, that it is a scalar quantity as opposed to E which is a vector quantity.

 Electrostatic features within JAVAProtein Dossier: AminoAcid and Surface AminoAcid Electrostatic Potential calculation ...
Among other descriptors, the Electrostatic Potential (EP) is widely recognized as one of the most relevant, due to its role in protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions.
The Electrostatic Potential is here calculated solving the PBE within a finite difference scheme by using the DelPhi program (Columbia University) with few ad hoc modifications.
One possible way to derive a more reliable atomic potential would be to average over many different system positions, but this would be very time consuming; the strategy we adopted here is to define the Atomic Potential as the average potential calculated at six points evenly distributed on a sphere centered at the atom itself.
