Abstract
A method for influencing binding of a first biopolymer to a second biopolymer includes applying an electric charge to a binding medium in which the first and second biopolymers are to be bonded together, wherein the electric charge is applied sufficiently to enhance or diminish a binding characteristic of the binding to thereby enhance the binding desired, provided that the binding characteristic is not denaturation of the first and second biopolymers from each other or from another biopolymer.
