Fig. 1. TF one-dimensional random walk on the DNA.

Fig. 1

A TF molecule (green circle) can move on the DNA (black line) by either: (i) sliding (moving to a nearby position without losing contact with the DNA), (ii) hopping (disassociations and fast reassociations in close proximity from the unbinding position) and (iii) jumping (disassociation, release in the bulk and reassociation anywhere on the DNA).
