{"product_id":"ionic-interactions-in-natural-and-synthetic-macromolecules-isbn-9780470529270","title":"Ionic Interactions in Natural and Synthetic Macromolecules","description":"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.  \u003cp\u003eThe 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 of functional biological systems and synthetic analogs. The contribution of electrostatic and hydrophobic interaction to the stability of proteins and other supramolecular structures will also be analyzed. There are chapters on applications such as deionization and cosmetic formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 21-chapter book is divided into three sections:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eFundamentals\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMixed Interactions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFunctions and Applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e  PREFACE ix  \u003cp\u003eCONTRIBUTORS xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART I FUNDAMENTALS 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 ION PROPERTIES 3\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eYizhak Marcus\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 IONIC INTERACTIONS IN SUPRAMOLECULAR COMPLEXES 35\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eHans-Jörg Schneider\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 POLYELECTROLYTE FUNDAMENTALS 49\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAngelo Perico\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 POLYELECTROLYTE AND POLYAMPHOLYTE EFFECTS IN SYNTHETIC AND BIOLOGICAL MACROMOLECULES 91\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNgo Minh Toan, Bae-Yeun Ha, and Dave Thirumalai\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 MODELING THE STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF POLYELECTROLYTE MULTILAYERS 121\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eJuan J.
