Journal Article
Rauch, C., Cherkaoui-Rbati, M., Egan, S. A., & Leigh, J. A. (2017). The bio-physics of condensation of divalent cations into the bacterial wall has implications for growth of Gram-positive bacteria. BBA - Biomembranes, 1859(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbamem.2016.12.002

Background: The anionic-polyelectrolyte nature of the wall of Gram-positive bacteria has long been suspected to be involved in homeostasis of essential cations and bacterial growth. A better understanding of the coupling between the biophysics and th...
