Mechanistic insights into the spatial organization of RNA polymerase proteins and the chromosome in E. coli cells
Debarshi Mitra, Jens-Uwe Sommer
Along the bacterial chromosome, regions called rrn operons contain genes that are transcribed into ribosomal RNA. These operons are among the most transcriptionally active sites in…

Entropic alignment of topologically modified ring polymers in cylindrical confinement
Sanjay Bhandarkar, Debarshi Mitra, Jürgen Horbach +1
Under high cylindrical confinement, segments of ring polymers can be localized along the long axis of the cylinder by introducing internal loops within the ring polymer. The emerge…

Entropic organization of topologically modified ring polymers in spherical confinement
Kingkini Roychoudhury, Shreerang Pande, Indrakanty S. Shashank +2
It has been shown that under high cylindrical confinement, two ring polymers with excluded volume interactions between monomers, segregate to two halves of the cylinder to maximize…
