Unusual Aspects of Charge Regulation in Flexible Weak Polyelectrolytes
This article reviews the state of the art of the studies on charge regulation (CR) effects in flexible weak polyelectrolytes.
Adsorption of flexible proteins in the ‘wrong side’of the isoelectric point: Casein macropeptide as a model system
We analyze the conditions of the adsorption of a flexible peptide onto a charged substrate in the ‘wrong side’ of the isoelectric point (WSIP), i.e. when surface and peptide charges have the same sign.
Anionically Functionalized Glycogen Encapsulates Melittin by Multivalent Interaction
We developed acid-functionalized glycogen conjugates as supramolecular carriers for efficient encapsulation and inhibition of a model cationic peptide melittin─the main component of honeybee venom.
Polyelectrolyte-nanoparticle mutual charge regulation and its influence on their complexation
The complexation between a charged nanoparticle and an oppositely charged linear polyelectrolyte in presence and absence of charge regulation is sistematically studied using coarse-grained constant pH simulations.
Influence of macromolecular crowding on the charge regulation of intrinsically disordered proteins
We study a possible charge regulation in two IDPs, histatin-5 and β-amyloid 42, triggered by the presence of neutral and charged crowders.
Effect of charge regulation and conformational equilibria in the stretching properties of weak polyelectrolytes
In this paper, the influence of CR in the stretching properties of weak polyelectrolytes is analyzed, and the possibility of CR induced by mechanical stretching is explored.
