Scaling Perspectives of Underscreening in Concentrated Electrolyte Solutions
Samuel Safran, Philip Pincus
We present a scaling view of underscreening observed in salt solutions in the range of concentrations greater than about 1M, in which the screening length increases with concentrat…
Compressing -chain in slit geometry
Lei Liu, Philip A. Pincus, Changbong Hyeon
When compressed in a slit of width , a -chain that displays the scaling of size (diameter) with respect to the number of monomers , , expands in th…
Heterogeneous morphology and dynamics of polyelectrolyte brush condensates in trivalent counterion solution
Lei Liu, Philip A. Pincus, Changbong Hyeon
Recent experiments have shown that trivalent ion, spermidine, can provoke lateral microphase segregation in DNA brushes. Using molecular simulations and simple theoretical a…
Effects of dimethyl sulfoxide on surface water near phospholipid bilayers
Yuno Lee, Philip A. Pincus, Changbong Hyeon
Despite much effort to probe the properties of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution, effects of DMSO on water, especially near plasma membrane surfaces still remain elusive. By perfo…
Effects of macromolecular crowding on the collapse of biopolymers
Hongsuk Kang, Philip A. Pincus, Changbong Hyeon +1
Experiments show that macromolecular crowding modestly reduces the size of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) even at volume fraction () similar to that in the cytosol whe…
A lattice model of hydrophobic interactions
Daniel W. Hone, P. A. Pincus
Hydrogen bonding is modeled in terms of virtual exchange of protons between water molecules. A simple lattice model is analyzed, using ideas and techniques from the theory of corre…
