13. In the 1:1 case, our definition differs from the more standard one as found e.g. in ref 9 by a factor 4ξ. The reason for doing so is that this allows easier comparison of the salt dependence of F for different values of the polyion charge.

23. c from the results given in ref 18. We did not investigate this regime here, since it is of little relevance for nucleic acids.

26. It then appears that the expression given for μ̃= 2μ in (B5) corresponds to the dominantterm only in (B3) (the first one on the right-hand side).
27. Compared to the expressions given in ref 18 where a parameter μ plays a key role, the corresponding change of variables should be performed: μ̃ = 3μ (1:2 case) and μ̃= 3μ/2 for 2:1 electrolytes.
