The counterions neutralizing the charges on polyelectrolytes such as DNA or heparin may
dissociate in water and greatly influence the interaction of such polyelectrolytes with …

The COVID-19 pandemic has rekindled interest in the molecular mechanisms involved in
the early steps of infection of cells by viruses. Compared to SARS-CoV-1 which only caused …

The glycocalyx regulates the interaction of mammalian cells with extracellular molecules,
such as cytokines. However, it is unknown to which extend the glycocalyx of distinct cancer …

Glycosaminoglycan (GAG)–protein binding governs critically important signaling events in
living matter. Aiming at a quantitative analysis of the involved processes, we herein present …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the presence of amyloid plaques in the AD
brain. Comprised primarily of the 40-and 42-residue β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides, there is …

Abstract 1H NMR spectroscopic studies on the 1: 1 adduct of the pentasaccharide
Fondaparinux (FPX) and the substitution‐inert polynuclear platinum complex TriplatinNC …

A thermodynamic analysis of the binary complex formation of the highly positively charged
linker histone H1 and the highly negatively charged chaperone prothymosin α (ProTα) is …

We present a thermodynamic investigation of the interaction of heparin with lysozyme in the
presence of potassium glutamate (KGlu). The binding constant K b is measured by …

Homogalacturonans (HGs) are polysaccharide copolymers of galacturonic acid and its
methylesterified counterpart. The inter-and intramolecular distributions of the methylesterifed …

The formation of complexes (aggregates) between oppositely charged macromolecular
species or between macromolecular species and multivalent ions is a fascinating …
