Inter-filament Attractions Narrow the Length Distribution of Actin Filaments
David Biron, Elisha Moses, Itamar Borukhov +1
We show that the exponential length distribution that is typical of actin filaments under physiological conditions dramatically narrows in the presence of (i) crosslinker proteins…
Polyelectrolyte Titration: Theory and Experiment
I. Borukhov, D. Andelman, R. Borrega +3
Titration of methacrylic acid / ethyl-acrylate copolymers is studied experimentally and theoretically. At low salt concentrations, this polyacid exhibits a plateau in the titration…
Adsorption of Large Ions from an Electrolyte Solution: A Modified Poisson-Boltzmann Equation
I. Borukhov, D. Andelman, H. Orland
The behavior of electrolyte solutions close to a charged surface is studied theoretically. A modified Poisson-Boltzmann equation which takes into account the volume excluded by the…
Random Polyelectrolytes and Polyampholytes in Solution
I. Borukhov, D. Andelman, H. Orland
The behavior of polyelectrolytes and polyampholytes in semi-dilute solutions is investigated theoretically. Various statistical charge distributions along the polyelectrolyte chain…
The Effect of Polyelectrolyte Adsorption on Inter-Colloidal Forces
I. Borukhov, D. Andelman, H. Orland
The behavior of polyelectrolytes between charged surfaces immersed in semi-dilute solutions is investigated theoretically. A continuum mean field approach is used for calculating n…
