Abstract

A phenomenological theory of reentrant condensation is presented. The theory is applicable not only to the solution of DNA and spheres but also to a much broader range of systems. Possible implications of the theory for the natural chromatin assuming that the beads-on-a-string structure of 10 mm chromatin fiber is indeed determined by electrostatic interactions are discussed.
