Polymer chain models of DNA and chromatin
Eur Phys J E Soft Matter.
2006 Mar.
Abstract
Many properties of the genome in the cell nucleus can be understood by modeling DNA and chromatin as a flexible polymer chain. This article introduces into current models for such a coarse-grained description and reviews some recent results from our own group. Examples given are the unrolling of DNA from the histone core and the response of the 30 nm chromatin fiber to mechanical stretching.
