Interchain base-stacking and spermine bridges govern ssDNA condensation and reentrant transitions

Balaka Mondal, Sumit Majumder, Ankur Jain, Dave Thirumalai

This study shows that spermine induces two phase transitions in ssDNA through stacking and electrostatic interactions, with sequence-dependent behavior.
