DNA Compaction and Charge Inversion Induced by Organic Monovalent Ions
DNA condensation and charge inversion usually occur in solutions of multivalent counterions. In the present study, we show that the organic monovalent ions of tetraphenyl chloride arsenic (Ph4As+) can induce DNA compaction and even invert its electrophoretic mobility by single molecular methods. The...
