Entropic effect of macromolecular crowding enhances binding between nucleosome clutches in heterochromatin, but not in euchromatin

Sharp increase in macromolecular crowding induces abnormal chromatin compaction in the cell nucleus, suggesting its non-negligible impact on chromatin structure and function. However, the details of the crowding-induced chromatin compaction remain poorly understood. In this work, we present a comput...
