When two oppositely charged macroions are brought into contact, a large fraction of the
mobile counterions that previously surrounded each isolated macromolecule is released …

We present theoretical work in which the degree of electrostatic coupling across a charged
lipid bilayer in aqueous solution is analyzed on the basis of nonlinear Poisson–Boltzmann …

The adsorption of macroions onto oppositely charged lipid membranes is a ubiquitous
phenomenon in biology and has numerous technological applications. 1 Evidently, the …

Fluid membranes containing charged lipids enhance binding of oppositely charged proteins
by mobilizing these lipids into the interaction zone, overcoming the concomitant entropic …

Self-assembled DNA delivery systems based on anionic lipids (ALs) complexed with DNA
mediated by divalent cations have been recently introduced as an alternative to cationic lipid …

We present a theoretical analysis of the phase behavior of solutions containing DNA,
cationic lipids, and nonionic (helper) lipids. Our model allows for five possible structures …

We present a theoretical study of the physical properties of cationic lipid-DNA (CL-DNA)
complexes—a promising synthetically based nonviral carrier of DNA for gene therapy. The …

To model the possible formation of coupled spatial corrugations and charge density
modulations in lamellar DNA− lipid complexes, we use a free energy functional which …

We have studied the electrostatic screening effect of NaCl solutions on the interactions
between anionic lipid bilayers in the fluid lamellar phase using a Poisson–Boltzmann-based …

Cationic lipid-DNA complexes, often referred to as lipoplexes, are formed spontaneously in
aqueous solutions upon mixing DNA and liposomes composed of cationic and nonionic …
