Surface-lattice model describes electrostatic interactions of ions and polycations with bacterial lipopolysaccharides : ion valence and polycation's excluded area

The bacterial outer membrane (OM) is compositionally distinct and contains polyanionic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the outer layer as a main component. It has long been known that the cation-binding ability of LPS is one of the key determinants of OM permeability. Here we present a two-dimensional l...
