Irregular transcription dynamics for rapid production of high-fidelity transcripts

Martin Depken, Juan M. R. Parrondo, Stephan W. Gril

Both genomic stability and sustenance of day-to-day life rely on efficient and accurate readout of the genetic code. Single-molecule experiments show that transcription and replica…

Cross-link governed dynamics of biopolymer networks

Chase P. Broedersz, Martin Depken, Norman Y. Yao +3

Cytoskeletal networks of biopolymers are cross-linked by a variety of proteins. Experiments have shown that dynamic cross-linking with physiological linker proteins leads to comple…

Nucleosome shape dictates chromatin-fiber structure

Martin Depken, Helmut Schiessel

Apart from being the gateway for all access to the eukaryotic genome, chromatin has in recent years been identified as carrying an epigenetic code regulating transcriptional activi…

Stresses in Smooth Flows of Dense Granular Media

Martin Depken, Jeremy B. Lechman, Martin van Hecke +2

The form of the stress tensor is investigated in smooth, dense granular flows which are generated in split-bottom shear geometries. We find that, within a fluctuation fluidized spa…

Continuum approach to wide shear zones in quasi-static granular matter

Martin Depken, Martin van Hecke, Wim van Saarloos

Slow and dense granular flows often exhibit narrow shear bands, making them ill-suited for a continuum description. However, smooth granular flows have been shown to occur in speci…

Exact probability function for bulk density and current in the asymmetric exclusion process

Martin Depken, Robin Stinchcombe

We examine the asymmetric simple exclusion process with open boundaries, a paradigm of driven diffusive systems, having a nonequilibrium steady state transition. We provide a full…
