Abstract
The results published in 1998 can be divided in three sub-topics. A) In (1,2) we study a model of polyelectrolyte solution with directional attractive forces between the macroions to mimic self-association processes in aqueous solutions of globular proteins. In (2) a simplified one-component theory is proposed. The new method (2) is used to analyze the reported data for the osmotic pressure of three different proteins. B) In (3), the equilibrium properties of charge and size asymmetric mixture of macroions, counterions and neutral particles are characterized through Monte Carlo simulations. The simulations are supplemented by MPB, SPB and HNC approaches. It is confirmed that a sufficient increase in the neutral species concentration leads to a change in the interaction between two macroions from repulsive to attractive. C) Papers (4,5) consider changes in the properties of fluids adsorbed in a porous material frozen in a disordered configuration. In (4) the replica Ornstein-Zernike equations supplemented by the HNC and MSA closures were solved for an ionic fluid in a disordered matrix with ionic obstacles. Both matrix and fluid were modeled as primitive model electrolytes. Comparison with the Monte Carlo simulations indicates that the theory yields qualitatively correct results for the model system. In (5), the same theory is used to study the liquid-vapor coexistence in the screened Coulomb binary mixture adsorbed in a disordered porous medium. 1)Yu.V. Kalyuzhnyi and V. Vlachy, J. Chem.
