Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Polyelectrolyte Complexes.

Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) are currently of great interest due to their applications toward developing new adaptive materials and their relevance in membraneless organelles. These complexes emerge during phase separation when oppositely charged polymers are mixed in aqueous media. Peptide-based PECs are particularly useful toward developing new drug delivery methods due to their inherent biocompatibility.
