Lac sliding in E. Coli continued: Deeper into the mechanism
We have previously shown that the lac repressor slides along the DNA to speed up the search for its specific binding site. By combining micro- and macroscopic computational models, we have now been able to investigate the details of the sliding mechanism on the atomic scale.

New insights in TF kinetics
In a recent publication, we show that there exist an optimal TF binding strength, where the time the binding site is free is not dependent on TF concentration.

It's not that simple!
A new method for direct measurement of transcription factor dissociation makes it possible to exclude a simple operator occupancy model for gene regulation.
