A brief overview is given over recent theoretical and simulation work on complexes of oppositely charged macroions. The emphasis is on linear/ cylindrical macroions (flexible, semiflexible polyelectrolytes) and spherical/globular macroions (colloids, micelles, globular proteins). We discuss soluble

Various models of the complex formation between polyelectrolyte chains and oppositely charged macroions are reviewed. In recent years, a great deal of knowledge of the multitude of possible polyelectrolyte conformations at the macroion surface has been accumulated, which consequently has led to incr
Quasi-elastic light scattering (QELS), electrophoretic light scattering (ELS), CD spectroscopy, and azide binding titrations were used to study the complexation at pH 6.8 between ferrihemoglobin and three polyelectrolytes that varied in charge density and sign. Both QELS and ELS show that the struct
