A freely relaxing polymer remembers how it was straightened
B. Obermayer, W. Mobius, O. Hallatschek +2
The relaxation of initially straight semiflexible polymers has been discussed mainly with respect to the longest relaxation time. The biologically relevant non-equilibrium dynamics…
Spontaneous Unknotting of a Polymer Confined in a Nanochannel
Wolfram Mobius, Erwin Frey, Ulrich Gerland
We study the dynamics of a knot in a semiflexible polymer confined to a narrow channel of width comparable to the polymers' persistence length. Using a combination of Brownian dyna…
Optimal flexibility for conformational transitions in macromolecules
Richard A. Neher, Wolfram Mobius, Erwin Frey +1
Conformational transitions in macromolecular complexes often involve the reorientation of lever-like structures. Using a simple theoretical model, we show that the rate of such tra…
Kinetic Accessibility of Buried DNA Sites in Nucleosomes
Wolfram Mobius, Richard A. Neher, Ulrich Gerland
Using a theoretical model for spontaneous partial DNA unwrapping from histones, we study the transient exposure of protein-binding DNA sites within nucleosomes. We focus on the fun…
