The bio-physics of condensation of divalent cations into the bacterial wall has implications for growth of Gram-positive bacteria

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 the biology of the wall is essential to understand s...
