Topological interactions between ring polymers: Implications for chromatin loops
Manfred Bohn, Dieter W. Heermann
Chromatin looping is a major epigenetic regulatory mechanism in higher eukaryotes. Besides its role in transcriptional regulation, chromatin loops have been proposed to play a pivo…
Conformational properties of compact polymers
Manfred Bohn, Dieter W. Heermann
Monte Carlo simulations of coarse-grained polymers provide a useful tool to deepen the understanding of conformational and statistical properties of polymers both in physical as we…
Chromatin Folding in Relation to Human Genome Function
Julio Mateos-Langerak, Osdilly Giromus, Wim de Leeuw +6
Three-dimensional (3D) chromatin structure is closely related to genome function, in particular transcription. However, the folding path of the chromatin fiber in the interphase nu…
Percolation in a Class of Band Structured Random Matrices
Dieter W. Heermann, Manfred Bohn
We define a class of random matrix ensembles that pertain to random looped polymers. Such random looped polymers are a possible model for bio-polymers such as chromatin in the cell…
A Random Loop Model for Long Polymers
Manfred Bohn, Dieter W. Heermann, Roel van Driel
While the structure of chromatin has been studied in great detail on length scales below 30 nm, amazingly little is known about the higher-order folding motifs of chromatin in inte…
