Before revision: While the community remains skeptical 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 .
After revision: While the community remains skeptical regarding the existence of effective attractions between like-charged species, recent computer molecular dynamics simulations with an explicit description of the solvent have demonstrated that the solvent playswhile PB and the primitive model do not account for most of these effects an important role for the structure of charged species in solution .
