A Repulsive Field: Advances in the electrostatics of the ion atmosphere

The large electrostatic repulsion arising from the negatively-charged backbone of RNA molecules presents a large barrier to folding. Solution counterions assist in the folding process by screening this electrostatic repulsion. While early research interpreted the effect of these counterions in terms...
