Author(s): Hongsuk Kang, Philip A. Pincus, Changbong Hyeon, and D. Thirumalai Experiments show that macromolecular crowding modestly reduces the size of intrinsically disordered proteins even at a volume fraction (ϕ) similar to that in the cytosol, whereas DNA undergoes a coil-to-globule transition at very small ϕ. We show using a combination of scaling arguments and simulati... [Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 068303] Published Fri Feb 13, 2015
