Modeling the compaction of bacterial chromosomes by biomolecular crowding and the cross-linking protein H-NS
Abstract Cells orchestrate the action of various molecules toward organizing their chromosomes. Using a coarse-grained computational model, we study the compaction of bacterial chromosomes by the cross-linking protein H-NS and cellular crowders. In this work, H-NS, modeled as a mobile “binder,” can...
