21. For salt-dependent folding or ligand-binding reactions, ion-binding isotherms have typically been fit to a polynomial binding model based on the simple mass action equilibrium. However, this equilibrium is not a physical description of the long-range electrostatic interactions governing the behavior of the ion atmosphere. Further, the exclusion of anions is typically neglected in these analyses, a condition that is only satisfied for very low salt concentration (0.01 M, refs 9, 20).

23. + ions in the atmosphere may be close enough to experience relaxation from the DNA but others may not be. Further, the ion distribution can change with ionic conditions. Quantitatively comparing results over a series of conditions is difficult.

28. Dye association has complex thermodynamics as neutral dye-indicators may bind to metal ions that are free or part of the ion atmosphere, although presumably there is partial or extensive exclusion of the dye-bound metal ion from the atmosphere because of the preference for smaller cations in the atmosphere.
