Soft matter materials, such as polymers, membranes, proteins, are often electrically charged.
This makes them water soluble, which is of great importance in technological application …

Both clinical and analytical metrics produced by microarray-based assay technology have
recognized problems in reproducibility, reliability and analytical sensitivity. These issues are …

Specific targeting is common in biology and is a key challenge in nanomedicine. It was
recently demonstrated that multivalent probes can selectively target surfaces with a defined …

Mixed polymer–surfactant systems have been intensively investigated in the last two
decades, with the main focus on surfactant micelles as the surfactant aggregate in …

We have performed molecular dynamics simulations of polyelectrolyte adsorption at
oppositely charged surfaces from dilute polyelectrolyte solutions. In our simulations …

Complex formation between a weak flexible polyelectrolyte chain and one positively
charged nanoparticle in presence of explicit counterions and salt particles is investigated …

We explore, using the recently developed efficient Monte Carlo simulation method, the
interaction of an anionic polyelectrolyte solution with a like-charged dielectric surface. In …

Based on extensive Monte Carlo simulations and analytical considerations we study the
electrostatically driven adsorption of flexible polyelectrolyte chains onto charged Janus …

Double-stranded (ds) DNA from salmon testes has been incorporated into PVA hydrogels
obtained by a technique of repeated freezing and thawing. The cryogels obtained are free of …

We describe a previously unreported coil-globule transition of DNA electrostatically bound to
a freestanding fluid cationic lipid membrane. The collapse of a DNA coil into a compact …
