Before revision: The majority of the scientific community remains skeptical concerning such like-charge attractions and advocates the classical PB approach discussed above regarding the existence of effective attractions between like-charged species, recent computer molecular dynamics simulations have demonstrated not include solvent effects that play an important role for the structure of charged species in solution.
