Charge regulation significantly enhances the ionization of weak polyelectrolytes in complexation.
Simulations show a first-order-like transition in complex formation as pH varies.
The binding affinity of the polyelectrolyte complex is altered under charge-regulating conditions.
Incorporating acid-base equilibria is crucial for accurate theoretical models of polyelectrolyte interactions.
