摘要
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. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
