Intermediate states in bivalent ion induced shrinking of polyacrylate coils on surfaces and in solution

Specifically binding ions induce the transition of anionic polyacrylate coils from extended conformation to collapsed globules passing through a cascade of intermediate states when solution conditions approach the L-type precipitation threshold. It is the conformation of these intermediate states...
