Abstract

We model DNA-cation complexes as infinite, one-dimensional, charged wires to single-out the interaction due to quantum fluctuations of the electric field from counterion-induced and water-related interactions. We obtain a frustration-free Casimir-like (codimension 2) interaction that extensive numerical analysis show to be a good candidate to explain the formation and stability of DNA aggregates.
