Packaged DNA genome sets the long-range electrostatic anisotropy of a virus
Jeffrey C. Everts, Anže Božič, Rudolf Podgornik
Viruses are among the most highly charged objects in biology, and electrostatic interactions permeate nearly every stage of their life cycle. At the same time, an empty icosahedral…
Anomalous proteinaceous shells with octagonal local order
Sergei B. Rochal, Aleksey S. Roshal, Olga V. Konevtsova +1
Proteinaceous shells useful for various biomedical applications exhibit a wide range of anomalous structures that are fundamentally different from icosahedral viral capsids describ…
Repulsive thermal van der Waals interaction in multi-species asymmetric electrolytes driven by external electric fields
Guangle Du, David S. Dean, Bing Miao +1
It is well established that the long-range component of the thermal van der Waals interaction between two semi-infinite dielectrics becomes short-range when an electrolyte is prese…
Sequence disorder-induced first order phase transition in confined polyelectrolytes
V. Stepanyan, A. Badasyan, V. Morozov +2
We consider a statistical mechanical model of a generic flexible polyelectrolyte, comprised of identically charged monomers with long range electrostatic interactions, and short-ra…
Correlation decoupling of Casimir interaction in an electrolyte driven by external electric fields
Guangle Du, David S. Dean, Bing Miao +1
It has been established for a long time that the long range van der Waals or thermal Casimir interaction between two semi-infinite dielectrics separated by a distance is screen…
Spool-nematic ordering of dsDNA and dsRNA under confinement
James Farrell, Jure Dobnikar, Rudolf Podgornik +1
The ability of double-stranded DNA or RNA to locally melt and form kinks leads to strong non-linear elasticity effects that qualitatively affect their packing in confined spaces. U…
On the nature of screening in charge regulated macroion solutions
Sunita Kumari, Rudolf Podgornik
We present a derivation of the screening length for a solution containing a charge regulated macroion, e.g. protein, with its counterions. We show that it can be obtained directly…
Strong Coupling Electrostatics in the Presence of Dielectric Inhomogeneities
Y. S. Jho, M. Kanduc, A. Naji +3
We study the strong-coupling (SC) interaction between two like-charged membranes of finite thickness embedded in a medium of higher dielectric constant. A generalized SC theory is…
Counterion-mediated Electrostatic Interactions between Helical Molecules
M. Kanduc, J. Dobnikar, R. Podgornik
We study the interaction of two cylinders with helical charge distribution mediated by neutralizing counterions, by analyzing the separation as well as the azimuthal angle dependen…
Electrostatic image effects for counter-ions between charged planar walls
M. Kanduc, R. Podgornik
We study the effect of dielectric inhomogeneities on the interaction between two planparallel charged surfaces with oppositely charged mobile charges in between. The dielectric con…
Casimir and pseudo-Casimir interactions in confined polyelectrolytes
R. Podgornik, J. Dobnikar
We investigate the pseudo-Casimir force acting between two charged surfaces confining a single polyelectrolyte chain with opposite charge. We expand the exact free energy to the se…
Pseudo-Casimir force in confined nematic polymers
Jure Dobnikar, Rudi Podgornik
We investigate the pseudo-Casimir force in a slab of material composed of nematically ordered long polymers. We write the total mesoscopic energy together with the constraint conne…
