Assessing the polymer coil-globule state from the very first spectral modes
Timothy Földes, Antony Lesage, Maria Barbi
The determination of the coil-globule transition of a polymer is generally based on the reconstruction of scaling laws, implying the need for samples from a rather wide range of di…
The physics of epigenetics
Ruggero Cortini, Maria Barbi, Bertrand R. Caré +4
In higher organisms, all cells share the same genome, but every cell expresses only a limited and specific set of genes that defines the cell type. During cell division, not only t…
Theory and simulations of toroidal and rod-like structures in single-molecule DNA condensation
Ruggero Cortini, Bertrand R. Caré, Jean-Marc Victor +1
DNA condensation by multivalent cations plays a crucial role in genome packaging in viruses and sperm heads, and has been extensively studied using single-molecule experimental met…
Protein-DNA electrostatics: toward a new paradigm for protein sliding
Maria Barbi, Fabien Paillusson
Gene expression and regulation rely on an apparently finely tuned set of reactions between some proteins and DNA. Such DNA-binding proteins have to find specific sequences on very…
On the ion-mediated interaction between protein and DNA
Maria Barbi, Fabien Paillusson
The mechanism allowing a protein to search of a target sequence on DNA is currently described as an intermittent process composed of 3D diffusion in bulk and 1D diffusion along the…
Non-specific DNA-protein interaction: Why proteins can diffuse along DNA
Vincent Dahirel, Fabien Paillusson, Marie Jardat +2
The structure of DNA Binding Proteins enables a strong interaction with their specific target site on DNA. However, recent single molecule experiment reported that proteins can dif…
