多价盐存在下刚性聚电解质的取向有序聚集体

Orientationally ordered aggregates of stiff polyelectrolytes in the presence of multivalent salt

摘要:

用分子动力学模拟研究了三价盐存在下刚性聚电解质在溶液中的聚集行为以及两个带相同电荷的杆之间的平均力势随角度和距离的变化.在体相溶液中,在一定的盐浓度范围内观察到与肌动蛋白丝的筏状结构相似的长寿命亚稳态结构的形成。系统最终进入自由能较低的状态,在该状态下形成有限大小的平行聚电解质束。研究了不同间距和盐浓度下两个带相同电荷的棒之间的优选角度和相互作用类型,这对取向有序结构的形成有一定的启示。

英文摘要:

Aggregation of stiff polyelectrolytes in solution and angle- and distance-dependent potential of mean force between two like-charged rods are studied in the presence of 3-valent salt using molecular dynamics simulations. In the bulk solution, formation of long-lived metastable structures with similarities to the raft-like structures of actin filaments is observed within a range of salt concentration. The system finally goes to a state with lower free energy in which finite-sized bundles of parallel polyelectrolytes form. Preferred angle and interaction type between two like-charged rods at different separations and salt concentrations are also studied, which shed some light on the formation of orientationally ordered structures.
