Model of how chromatin remodeling leads to enhanced movement. Folded chromatin domains, represented by stiff tubes, have rather large persistent length (LP) values compared with the flexible unfolded regions of chromatin. Upon local nucleosome remodeling and/or eviction, the persistent length is reduced, creating an extra flexible linker that may exhibit freer movement.
