Figure 5. Average DNA configuration in a C. crescentus mutant cell where ori is located at 6 o'clock and ter at 3 o'clock on the chromosome.

Figure 5

In the simulations the chromosome is represented by a self-avoiding chain of blobs with diameter Inline graphic. The chain consists of 2000 blobs: 1500 blobs for the segment connecting ori and ter and 500 blobs for the segment connecting ter and ori. Cell size is Inline graphic. The error bars denote standard deviations from mean position.
