Physical models reveal indirect reader protein interactions that facilitate epigenetic crosstalk | PNAS
The spatial organization of chromatin is governed by epigenetic factors, including epigenetic marks and the reader proteins that bind them. By dict...

Thomas Habte and I recently published “Leveraging inhomogeneous binding of incompatible constituents for adaptive copolymer self-assembly” in Soft Matter, predicting a new co-polymer material that can access a range of stable phases without changing polymer sequence.

Leveraging inhomogeneous binding of incompatible constituents for adaptive copolymer self-assembly
Using a polymer field-theoretic model, we present a system containing copolymers and two distinct chemical moieties that bind heterogeneously along the copolymer chains, enabling self-assembly of a ra...
