โœฆ Synopsis

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 complexes, dense complex phases, and micelles with cores consisting of dense complex phases, stabilized by neutral hydrophilic chains.

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
