DNA-condensation, redissolution and mesocrystals induced by tetravalent counterions

E.Allahyarov, G.Gompper, H.L\"owen

Simulations of DNA with tetravalent counterions produce an effective potential that first attracts then repels, driving condensation, redissolution, and an intermediate mesocrystal.

Claims

C1strongest claim

The resulting phase diagram includes a DNA-condensation and redissolution transition and a stable mesocrystal with an intermediate lattice constant for high counterion concentration.

C2weakest assumption

That the effective pair potential extracted from two-DNA simulations remains quantitatively accurate when many DNA molecules interact simultaneously in a dense phase.

C3one line summary

Simulations find that tetravalent counterions first condense DNA, then redissolve it, and stabilize an intermediate-spacing mesocrystal at high concentration.
