A Simple Theory for the Hofmeister Series
Abstract
In cells, biological molecules function in an aqueous solution. Electrolytes and other small molecules play important roles in keeping the osmotic pressure of the cellular environment as well as the structure formation and function of biomolecules. The observed empirical rules such as Hofmeister series are still waiting for molecular interpretations. In this Perspective, we will discuss a simple and self-consistent theory that takes into account the cooperative effects of cations and anions in affecting water/air surface tension, water activity, and the solubility of model compounds including polypeptides. Molecular dynamics simulations used to test these theoretical models will also be discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
