The element-free Galerkin method is applied to the study of the electrostatic behavior of a biomolecule inside a ionic solvent. To this aim, the attention is focused on the solution of the linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation. The numerical results put in evidence the capability of the proposed approach to approximate the steep gradients of the electrostatic potential arising in the molecular region.
