The persistence length of the polymer is set to lp = 50 nm. Beads interact via a purely -steric Lennard-Jones repulsion while the TopoII-bound segment is modelled as a 50 beads (L=360 bp)-long segment displaying soft interactions with the other beads thereby allowing the TopoII-bound segment to undergo strand-crossing with a small energy penalty (2 kBT). For details in the model and the system used we refer the reader to our paper: D. Michieletto, et al.
