Rings in Random Environments: Sensing Disorder Through Topology
Davide Michieletto, Marco Baiesi, Enzo Orlandini +1
In this paper we study the role of topology in DNA gel electrophoresis experiments via molecular dynamics simulations. The gel is modelled as a 3D array of obstacles from which hal…
Is the Kinetoplast DNA a Percolating Network of Linked Rings at its Critical Point?
Davide Michieletto, Davide Marenduzzo, Enzo Orlandini
In this work we present a computational study of the Kinetoplast genome, modelled as a large number of semiflexible unknotted loops, which are allowed to link with each other. As t…
Dynamics of Self-Threading Ring Polymers in a Gel
Davide Michieletto, Davide Marenduzzo, Enzo Orlandini +2
We study of the dynamics of ring polymers confined to diffuse in a background gel at low concentrations. We do this in order to probe the inter-play between topology and dynamics i…
