Chain decay and rates disorder in the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process
Yahaya Ibrahim, Jérôme Dorignac, Fred Geniet +5
We theoretically study the Totally Asymmetric Exclusion Process (TASEP) with quenched jumping rates disorder and finite lifetime chain. TASEP is widely used to model the translatio…
Physical modeling of ribosomes along messenger RNA: estimating kinetic parameters from ribosome profiling experiments using a ballistic model
Carole Chevalier, Jérôme Dorignac, Yahaya Ibrahim +9
Gene expression consists in the synthesis of proteins from the information encoded on DNA. One of the two main steps of gene expression is the translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) i…
Geometry-controlled kinetics
O. Bénichou, C. Chevalier, J. Klafter +2
It has long been appreciated that transport properties can control reaction kinetics. This effect can be characterized by the time it takes a diffusing molecule to reach a target -…
Facilitated diffusion of proteins on chromatin
O. Benichou, C. Chevalier, B. Meyer +1
We present a theoretical model of facilitated diffusion of proteins in the cell nucleus. This model, which takes into account the successive binding/unbinding events of proteins to…
