Nonmonotonic variation with salt concentration of the second virial coefficient in protein solutions
Physical Review E - Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics 67:5 1 (2003)
Abstract:
The effective interactions and the second osmotic virial coefficient B2 of protein solutions incorporating the electrostatics within the "primitive" model of electrolytes was calculated. For discrete charge distributions, the interactions and related B2 vary in a nonmonotonic fashion with increasing ionic strength, while for the smeared charge model, a standard workhorse of colloidal physics, this effect was absent. These correlated-induced effects were missed within nonlinear PB theory, and similar coarse-graining techniques taken from the theory of colloids.Influence of solvent quality on effective pair potentials between polymers in solution
