In this Review, we present a critical analysis of various applications of the Flory-type theories
to a theoretical description of the conformational behavior of single polymer chains in dilute …

We consider the problem of charge correlations in self-coacervate phases of
polyampholytes and disordered proteins with different monomer sequences. An analytical …

We address the effects of chain connectivity on electrostaticfluctuations in polyelectrolyte
solutions using a field-theoretic, renormalizedGaussian fluctuation (RGF) theory. As in …

We study the phase behavior of polyelectrolyte (PE) solutions with salt using a simple liquid-
state (LS) theory. This LS theory accounts for hard-core excluded volume repulsion by the …

We explore the reentrant condensation of polyelectrolytes triggered by multivalent salts,
whose phase-transition mechanism remains under debate. We propose a theory to study the …

The stretching of a single dipolar chain by a tensile force acting on the chain end is studied
using molecular dynamics simulations and theoretical considerations. In both theory and …

The primary sequence of charged monomers in a polyampholyte has a profound effect on its
conformational properties. In this work, theory and simulations are used to predict how the …

A polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) of oppositely charged linear chains is considered within the
Random Phase Approximation (RPA). We study the salt-free case and use the continuous …

Using extensive molecular dynamics simulations, we obtain the conformational phase
diagram of a charged polymer in the presence of oppositely charged counterions and …

Extensive coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the
conformational phase diagram of a neutral polymer in the presence of attractive crowders …
