Loops in DNA: an overview of experimental and theoretical approaches

J-F Allemand et al. Eur Phys J E Soft Matter. 2006 Mar.

Abstract

DNA loop formation plays a central role in many cellular processes. The aim of this paper is to present the state of the art and open problems regarding the experimental and theoretical approaches to DNA looping. A particular attention is devoted to the effects of the protein bridge size and of protein induced sharp DNA bending on DNA loop formation enhancement.
