Abstract: We have extended the slip-link model originally developed by Doi and Takimoto [Philos. Trans. R. Soc. London, A 2003, 361, 641] to calculate fast shear and uniaxial elongational flows. The original Doi–Takimoto (DT) model shows… read more here.

Abstract: We use Brownian dynamics simulations to study the formation of chromatin loops through diffusive sliding of slip-link-like proteins, mimicking the behaviour of cohesin molecules. We recently proposed that diffusive sliding is sufficient to explain the… read more here.
