The recombinase protein is a torque sensitive molecular switch
Scott Atwell, Aurélie Dupont, Daniel Migliozzi +2
How a nano-searcher finds its nano-target is a general problem in non-equilibrium statistical physics. It becomes vital when the searcher is a damaged DNA fragment trying to find i…
Nucleosome Chiral Transition under Positive Torsional Stress in Single Chromatin Fibers
Aurelien Bancaud, Gaudeline Wagner, Natalia Conde e Silva +10
Using magnetic tweezers to investigate the mechanical response of single chromatin fibers, we show that fibers submitted to large positive torsion transiently trap positive turns,…
Structural plasticity of single chromatin fibers revealed by torsional manipulation
Aurelien Bancaud, Natalia Conde e Silva, Maria Barbi +8
Magnetic tweezers are used to study the mechanical response under torsion of single nucleosome arrays reconstituted on tandem repeats of 5S positioning sequences. Regular arrays ar…
Theoretical Study of Comb-Polymers Adsorption on Solid Surfaces
Anna Sartori, Albert Johner, Jean-Louis Viovy +1
We propose a theoretical investigation of the physical adsorption of neutral comb-polymers with an adsorbing skeleton and non-adsorbing side-chains on a flat surface. Such polymers…
