L-type calcium channels are Ca 2+ binding proteins of great biological importance. They
generate an essential intracellular signal of living cells by allowing Ca 2+ ions to move …

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

Using a recently developed renormalized Gaussian fluctuation (RGF) field theory that self-
consistently accounts for the concentration-dependent coupling between chain structure and …

Polyelectrolyte solutions are modeled as freely tangent-jointed, charged hard-sphere chains
and corresponding counterions in a continuum medium with permitivity ε. By adopting the …

A recent thermodynamic perturbation theory for flexible polyelectrolyte solutions is extended
to study thermodynamic properties and phase equilibria for polyelectrolyte solutions with …

The structure and properties of a coarse-grained model of a polyelectrolyte network is
studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations. Counterions are treated explicitly, and …

Recent advances in the theory of electrolytic solutions are used to describe osmotic and
activity coefficients for aqueous solutions of electrolytes. The thermodynamic properties and …

The binding mean spherical approximation theory is used to describe the thermodynamic
properties of dicarboxylic acid salts by adding a chain term in the free energy. The dianions …

The associate mean-spherical approximation (AMSA) is used to derive the closed-form
expressions for the thermodynamic properties of an (n+ m)-component mixture of sticky …

Polyelectrolytes are interesting and important for a large range of applications, both scientific
and technological. It is increasingly clear that a good, robust, and reliable approximation …
