## Abstract Poly(Lys^48^, His^52^), a random copolypeptide of Lโlysine (48%) and Lโhistidine (52%), was used as a model protein for investigating the effects of protonation on the imidazole group of histidines on protein binding to DNA. The complexes formed between poly(Lys^48^, His^52^) and DNA we

โฆ Synopsis
The surface force apparatus has been used to study the force law between mica surfaces modified with the biopolymers heparin and poly-L-lysine by direct adsorption from solution. Between identical surfaces the interactions were well described by the DLVO theory for repulsive double-layer overlap. Between dissimilar surfaces, strong attractive forces were measured which were consistent with the Hogg-Healy-Fuerstenau approximation to the Poisson-Boltzmann distribution for asymmetric double layers, suggesting a non-specific electrostatic basis for the measured long-range forces.
