Description for Ionic Interactions in Natural and Synthetic Macromolecules
Hardcover. This book is a comprehensive study of the subject of ionic interactions in macromolecules. The first parts of the book review and analyze the conventional treatments of fixed charges (e.g. in polyelectrolytes and polyampholytes), including screening and condensation by mobile ions. Editor(s): Ciferri, Alberto; Perico, Angelo. Num Pages: 872 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 163 x 44. Weight in Grams: 1580.
This book is a comprehensive study of the subject of ionic interactions in macromolecules. The first parts of the book review and analyze the conventional treatments of fixed charges (e.g. in polyelectrolytes and polyampholytes), including screening and condensation by mobile ions. The interaction of ions with less polar sites on the macromolecule (e.g. amide bonds), and the origin of the lyotropic effects (focusing on binding versus condensation) will also be extensively addressed.

The book also explores complex micellar organizations involving charged macromolecules (e.g. DNA) and low-molecular-weight ampholytes and strong protein associations. The resulting structures are relevant to a variety ... Read more
