Incorporating Nucleosomes into Thermodynamic Models of Transcription Regulation
Transcriptional control is central to many cellular processes, and, consequently, much effort has been devoted to understanding its underlying mechanisms. The organization of nucleosomes along promoter regions is important for this process, since most transcription factors cannot bind nucleosomal sequences and thus compete with nucleosomes for DNA access. This competition is governed by the rel...
متن کاملNucleosomes, transcription, and probability
Speaking of current measurements on single ion channel molecules, David Colquhoun wrote in 2006, "Individual molecules behave randomly, so suddenly we had to learn how to deal with stochastic processes." Here I describe theoretical efforts to understand recent experimental observations on the chromatin structure of single gene molecules, a molecular biologist's path toward probabilistic theories.
متن کاملa study on thermodynamic models for simulation of 1,3 butadiene purification columns
attempts have been made to study the thermodynamic behavior of 1,3 butadiene purification columns with the aim of retrofitting those columns to more energy efficient separation schemes. 1,3 butadiene is purified in two columns in series through being separated from methyl acetylene and 1,2 butadiene in the first and second column respectively. comparisons have been made among different therm...
Optimizing static thermodynamic models of transcriptional regulation
MOTIVATION Modeling transcriptional regulation using thermo-dynamic modeling approaches has become increasingly relevant as a way to gain a detailed understanding of transcriptional regulation. Thermodynamic models are able to model the interactions between transcription factors (TFs) and DNA that lead to a specific transcriptional output of the target gene. Such models can be 'trained' by fitt...
متن کاملThermodynamic State Ensemble Models of cis-Regulation
A major goal in computational biology is to develop models that accurately predict a gene's expression from its surrounding regulatory DNA. Here we present one class of such models, thermodynamic state ensemble models. We describe the biochemical derivation of the thermodynamic framework in simple terms, and lay out the mathematical components that comprise each model. These components include ...
