Title: Electrostatics of Rigid Polyelectrolytes

Journal Article · · Curr. Opin. Colloid Interface Sci. 11:310,2007
OSTI ID:953904

The organization of rigid biological polyelectrolytes by multivalent ions and macroions are important for many fundamental problems in biology and biomedicine, such as cytoskeletal regulation and antimicrobial sequestration in cystic fibrosis. These polyelectrolytes have been used as model systems for understanding electrostatics in complex fluids. Here, we review some recent results in theory, simulations, and experiments.
