abstract = {The effective force between two parallel DNA molecules is
calculated as a function of their mutual separation for
different valencies of counterion and salt ions and
different salt concentrations. Computer simulations of the
primitive model are used and the shape of the DNA molecules
is accurately modeled using different geometrical shapes. We
find that multivalent ions induce a significant attraction
between the DNA molecules whose strength can be tuned by the
averaged valency of the ions. The physical origin of the
attraction is traced back either to electrostatics or to
entropic contributions. For multivalent counterions and
monovalent salt ions, we find a salt-enhanced repulsion
effect: the force is first attractive but gets repulsive
with increasing salt concentration. Furthermore, we show
that the multivalent-ion-induced attraction does not
necessarily correlate with DNA overcharging.},
