Aggregation kinetics of stiff polyelectrolytes in the presence of multivalent salt.
Using molecular dynamics simulations, the kinetics of bundle formation for stiff polyelectrolytes such as actin is studied in the solution of multivalent salt. The dominant kinetic mode of aggregation is found to be the case of one end of one rod meeting others at a right angle due to electrostatic...
