Polyelectrolyte Conformation Controlled by a Trivalent-Rich Ion Jacket
Abstract
The configuration of charged polymers is heavily dependent on interactions with surrounding salt ions, typically manifesting as a sensitivity to the bulk ionic strength. In this work, we use single-molecule mechanical measurements to show that a charged polysaccharide, hyaluronic acid, reflects an interesting regime of insensitivity to ionic strength in the presence of trivalent ions. Using simulations and theory, we propose that this is caused by the formation of a “jacket” of ions, tightly associated with the polymer, whose charge (and thus effect on configuration) is robust against changes in solution composition.
