The Mixing Counterion Effect on DNA Compaction and Charge Neutralization at Low Ionic Strength

DNA compaction and charge neutralization in a mixing counterion solution involves competitive and cooperative electrostatic binding, and sometimes counterion complexation. At normal ionic strength, it has been found that the charge neutralization of DNA by the multivalent counterion is suppressed wh...
