Modulation of elasticity and interactions in charged lipid multibilayers: monovalent salt solutions
Bing-Sui Lu, Santosh Gupta, Michal Belička +2
We have studied the electrostatic screening effect of NaCl solutions on the interactions between anionic lipid bilayers in the fluid lamellar phase using a Poisson-Boltzmann based…
Chirality modifies the interaction between knots
Saeed Najafi, Luca Tubiana, Rudolf Podgornik +1
In this study we consider an idealization of a typical optical tweezers experiment involving a semiflexible double-knotted polymer, with steric hindrance and persistence length mat…
Nonequilibrium Tuning of the Thermal Casimir Effect
David S. Dean, Bing-Sui Lu, A. C. Maggs +1
In net-neutral systems correlations between charge fluctuations generate strong attractive thermal Casimir forces and engineering these forces to optimize nanodevice performance is…
Effects of RNA branching on the electrostatic stabilization of viruses
Gonca Erdemci-Tandogan, Jef Wagner, Paul van der Schoot +2
Many single-stranded (ss) RNA viruses self assemble from capsid protein subunits and the nucleic acid to form an infectious virion. It is believed that the electrostatic interactio…
Van der Waals torque and force between dielectrically anisotropic layered media
Bing-Sui Lu, Rudolf Podgornik
We analyse van der Waals interactions between a pair of dielectrically anisotropic plane-layered media interacting across a dielectrically isotropic solvent medium. We develop a ge…
Titratable Macroions in Multivalent Electrolyte Solutions: Strong Coupling Dressed Ion Approach
Natasa Adzic, Rudolf Podgornik
We present a theoretical description of the effect of polyvalent ions on the interaction between titratable macro-ions. The model system consists of two point-like macro-ions with…
