How are molecular crowding and the spatial organization of a biopolymer interrelated
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-10-21)In a crowded cellular interior, dissolved biomolecules or crowders exert excluded volume effects on other biomolecules, which in turn control various processes including protein aggregation and chromosome organization. As ... -
A ring-polymer model shows how macromolecular crowding controls chromosome-arm organization in Escherichia coli
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-09-19)Macromolecular crowding influences various cellular processes such as macromolecular association and transcription, and is a key determinant of chromosome organization in bacteria. The entropy of crowders favors compaction ...
