41. Note, however, that if one goes beyond the PB theory (cf., for example, the discussion in GROOT R. D., J. Chem. Phys., 94 (1991) 5083), the effective charge can be shown to reach a maximum and then start decreasing for sufficiently high values of the bare charge.
42. This argument neglects local inhomogeneities in the charge distribution on the scale of the chain radius a_; taking these effects into account would reduce the extent of counterion release, but reliable quantitative estimates are difficult to formulate.
43. B) ξ_ ln(4ξ_). Furthermore, we have neglected the L-K integration constant β here since its magnitude is small (≪ 1) in the limit Ka_ ≪1.

45. Higher-order corrections to the free energy of the complex due to the build-up of quadrupolar moment can be estimated when the uniform charge smearing approximation is not sufficient. At interesting salt concentrations (i.e., well below the decomplexation salt concentration ≈ 1 M NaCl), our qualitative results remain valid; overcharging is still seen to occur, but to a lesser degree.
46. The histone octamer has ≈ 250 positively charged residues. The DNA segment wound around the protein is 146 base-pairs (bp) long, where each bp carries 2 negative phosphate charges.
