Kinetics of polymer looping with macromolecular crowding: effects of volume fraction and crowder size

The looping of polymers such as DNA is a fundamental process in the molecular biology of living cells, whose interior is characterised by a high degree of molecular crowding. We here investigate in detail the looping dynamics of flexible polymer chains in the presence of different degrees of crowdin...
