(A) Schematic of our model for the segregation of the oriC locus as the Rouse chain being extended from its steady-state configuration. The red segments highlight the portions of the polymer chain to which stress has propagated from the force applied at the end bead. (B) MD = X(t)/[fNb2/3kBT] of the end bead pulled by an external force for a fractional-Langevin-motion polymer versus dimensionless time τ = t/tR, where tR = [N2b2ξ/(kBT)]1/α for α = 0.7.
