Direct Evidence for Counterion Release upon Cationic Lipid-DNA Condensation
The cooperative condensation of DNA and cationic liposomes to form ordered aggregates in aqueous solution is associated with the release of partially bound counterions. We directly determine the extent of counterion release by separating the supernatant from the precipitated condensates, measuring the conductivity of the solution before and after the phase transition. The extent of counterion r...
متن کاملCounterion penetration and effective electrostatic interactions in solutions of polyelectrolyte stars and microgels.
Counterion distributions and effective electrostatic interactions between spherical macroions in polyelectrolyte solutions are calculated via second-order perturbation (linear response) theory. By modeling the macroions as continuous charge distributions that are permeable to counterions, analytical expressions are obtained for counterion profiles and effective pair interactions in solutions of...
متن کاملThe role of multipoles in counterion-mediated interactions between charged surfaces: strong and weak coupling.
We present general arguments for the importance, or lack thereof, of structure in the charge distribution of counterions for counterion-mediated interactions between bounding symmetrically charged surfaces. We show that on the mean field or weak coupling level, the charge quadrupole contributes the lowest order modification to the contact value theorem and thus to the intersurface electrostatic...

متن کاملProtein adsorption into mesopores: a combination of electrostatic interaction, counterion release, and van der Waals forces.
Bovine heart cytochrome c has been immobilized into the mesoporous silica host material SBA-15 in both its native folded and urea-unfolded state. The comparison of the two folding states' behavior casts doubt on the commonly used explanation of cytochrome c adsorption, that is, the electrostatic interaction model. A detailed investigation of the protein binding as a function of pH and ionic str...
