Multi-plectoneme phase of double-stranded DNA under torsion
Marc Emanuel, Giovanni Lanzani, Helmut Schiessel
We use the worm-like chain model to study supercoiling of DNA under tension and torque. The model reproduces experimental data for a much broader range of forces, salt concentratio…
Equation of state of looped DNA
I. M. Kulic, H. Mohrbach, R. Thaokar +1
We calculate the equation of state of DNA under tension for the case that the DNA features loops. Such loops occur transiently during DNA condensation in the presence of multivalen…
Controlled DNA compaction within chromatin: the tail-bridging effect
Frank Muehlbacher, Christian Holm, Helmut Schiessel
We study the mechanism underlying the attraction between nucleosomes, the fundamental packaging units of DNA inside the chromatin complex. We introduce a simple model of the nucleo…
