Distribution of the Radius of Gyration for an ISAW
Antony Lesage, Vincent Dahirel, Jean-Marc Victor +1
We aim at calculating an explicit expression for the finite-size probability distribution of the radius of gyration of an Interacting Self-Avoiding Walk (ISAW), as a function o…
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…
Conformational Manipulation of DNA in Nanochannels Using Hydrodynamics
Qihao He, Hubert Ranchon, Pascal Carrivain +6
The control over DNA elongation in nanofluidic devices holds great potential for large-scale genomic analysis. So far, the manipulation of DNA in nanochannels has been mostly carri…
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…
Poisson-Boltzmann for oppositely charged bodies: an explicit derivation
Fabien Paillusson, Maria Barbi, Jean-Marc Victor
The interaction between charged bodies in an ionic solution is a general problem in colloid physics and becomes a central topic in the study of biological systems where the electro…
