On the physical nature of mesophases of guanosine gels
Literature Information
Laura Rudd, Dominic J. Lee, Alexei A. Kornyshev
The unusual columnar aqueous mesophases of self-assembled guanosine stacks, such as 2′-deoxyguanosine 5′-monophosphate and 2′-deoxyguanosine 3′-monophosphate, are analyzed in terms of a general theory of azimuthal correlations between the charged helices. This theory considers forces, specific to the helical structure of each macromolecule, which depend on the azimuthal orientations of the molecules about their long axes. More specifically, in determining the magnitudes and decay lengths of these helix specific forces we utilize the Kornyshev–Leikin theory of electrostatic interaction between helical macromolecules and quantitatively fit experimental data. Together with explaining a number of the observed features of these mesophases, several new effects are predicted. Possible limitations and developments of our theoretical model are discussed, as well as new experiments to test the implications of the theory.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
