Journal ArticleDOI
Counterion-Condensation-Induced Collapse of Highly Charged Polyelectrolytes
Helmut Schiessel,Philip Pincus +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide simple scaling arguments that allow one to calculate the chain size and the effective total charge as a function of temperature, solvent quality, and solvent properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hierarchical analogues to fractional relaxation equations
Helmut Schiessel,A. Blumen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the generalized dashpot and the generalized Maxwell model of fractional calculus have been analyzed and a transparent interpretation of the parameters which enter the fractional equations, revealing that the internal dynamics are hierarchically constrained.
Journal ArticleDOI
The physics of chromatin.
TL;DR: It is stressed that chromatin combines two seemingly contradictory features: (1) high compaction of DNA within the nuclear envelope and, at the same time, (2) accessibility to genes, promoter regions and gene regulatory sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymer reptation and nucleosome repositioning.
TL;DR: This work considers how beads can diffuse along a chain that wraps them, without becoming displaced from the chain; the proposed mechanism is analogous to the reptation of "stored length" in more familiar situations of polymer dynamics.
