Mechanisms for Chromosome Segregation in Bacteria

Christos Gogou et al.

Summary: The process of DNA segregation in bacteria involves various mechanisms such as pushing and pulling, while some bacteria rely on entropic forces for chromosome de-mixing. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for genome segregation research.

Equilibrium organization, conformation, and dynamics of two polymers under box-like confinement

James M. Polson et al.

Summary: Motivated by recent nanofluidics experiments, the study investigates the conformation, organization, and dynamics of two polymer chains confined to a single box-like cavity using Brownian dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations. The behavior of the system approaches that of an isolated polymer in a slit geometry as the box width increases. Polymer size reduction is primarily due to confinement, while polymer diffusion and internal motion are significantly affected by inter-polymer crowding.

Free energy and segregation dynamics of two channel-confined polymers of different lengths

James M. Polson et al.

Summary: Highly confined polymers in narrow channels experience strong entropic forces that may drive them apart. Studies show that different polymer lengths result in different segregation behaviors, with specific separation regimes observed.
