Effects of polyelectrolyte charge distribution and chain stiffness on polyelectrolyte-protein complex formation and coacervation
Crucial parameters affecting protein-polyelectrolyte complexation include protein charge anisotropy, chain flexibility and polyelectrolyte (PE) charge sequence distribution. PE chain flexibility was found to affect the colloid-binding affinity: stiffer PE's binding more strongly than flexible P...
