A model study of cooperative binding of ionic surfactants to oppositely charged flexible polyions

A novel statistical model for the cooperative binding of monomeric ligands to a linear lattice is developed to study the interaction of ionic surfactant molecules with flexible polyion chain in dilute solution. Electrostatic binding of a ligand to a site on the polyion and hydrophobic associations b...
