Salt-modulated structure of polyelectrolyte-macroion complex fibers.
The structure and stability of strongly charged complex fibers, formed by complexation of a single long semi-flexible polyelectrolyte chain and many oppositely charged spherical macroions, are investigated numerically at the ground-state level using a chain-sphere cell model. The model takes into account chain elasticity as well as electrostatic interactions between charged spheres and chain se...
متن کاملOvercharging of a macroion by an oppositely charged polyelectrolyte
Complexation of a polyelectrolyte with an oppositely charged spherical macroion is studied for both salt free and salty solutions. When a polyelectrolyte winds around the macroion, its turns repel each other and form an almost equidistant solenoid. It is shown that this repulsive correlations of turns lead to the charge inversion: more polyelectrolyte winds around the macroion than it is necess...
متن کاملStructure and rheology of polyelectrolyte complex coacervates.
Scattering investigations of the structure and chain conformations, and the rheological properties of polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) comprising model polyelectrolytes are presented. The use of charged polypeptides - (poly)-lysine and (poly)-glutamic acid with identical backbones allowed for facile tuning of the system parameters, including chain length, side-chain functionality, and chirality...
متن کاملThe Eeect of Added Salt on Polyelectrolyte Structure
We present results of molecular dynamics simulations of strong, exible polyelectrolyte chains in solution with added salt. The eeect of added salt on the polyelectrolyte chain structure is fully treated for the rst time as a function of polymer density. Systems above and below the Manning condensation limit are studied. The chain structure is intimately tied to the ion density near the chain ev...
