Counterion atmosphere around DNA double helix: Trapping of counterions at the nanoscale

DNA is a strong polyelectrolyte macromolecule making metal ions (counterions) condense to a cloud around the double helix. The counterions may be localized outside the macromolecule and inside the minor and major grooves of the double helix. In the present work, the distribution of condensed counter...
