Dielectric permittivity of water confined in stacks of charged lipid layers: extracting profiles from molecular dynamics simulations using a modified Poisson-Boltzmann equation
Ludovic Gardré, Swen Helstroffer, Pierre Muller +4
Most organic and inorganic surfaces (e.g., glass, nucleic acids or lipid membranes) become charged in aqueous solutions. The resulting ionic distribution induces effective interact…

The role of confined water in the emergence of electrostatic strong coupling as revealed by nanoseparated charged lipid layers
Swen Helstroffer, Ludovic Gardré, Giovanna Fragneto +7
This study investigates the interplay between Strong Coupling (SC) attraction and hydration repulsion in nanoconfined water between like-charged phospholipid layers. It challenges…
