Charge inversion in DNA-amphiphile complexes: Possible application to gene therapy
P. S. Kuhn, Y. Levin, M. C. Barbosa
We study a complex formation between the DNA and cationic amphiphilic molecules. As the amphiphile is added to the solution containing DNA, a cooperative binding of surfactants to…
Donnan equilibrium and the osmotic pressure of charged colloidal lattices
M. N. Tamashiro, Yan Levin, Marcia C. Barbosa
We consider a system composed of a monodisperse charge-stabilized colloidal suspension in the presence of monovalent salt, separated from the pure electrolyte by a semipermeable me…
Melting of a colloidal crystal
P. S. Kuhn, A. Diehl, Y. Levin +1
A melting transition for a system of hard spheres interacting by a repulsive Yukawa potential of DLVO form is studied. To find the location of the phase boundary, we propose a simp…
A Neutral Polyampholyte in an ionic solution
Alexandre Diehl, Marcia C. Barbosa, Yan Levin
The behavior of a neutral polyampholyte () chain with monomers, in an ionic solution, is analyzed in the framework of the full Debye-Hckel-Bjerrum-Flory …
