Model of polyamine interaction with DNA double helix. r is the distance from the center of the atomic group of the molecule to the charged chain; m is the number of atomic groups of polyamine molecule; n is the number of charged atomic groups in the molecule; b is the characteristic size of the phosphate group and the atomic group of the polyamine molecule. In the model spermidine3+ molecule is shown as an example.
