Chromatin Modeling. Coarse grained models of 10 nm chromatin fiber with different level of details. (a) The simple two angle model has two parameters, the angles α and β [25]. (b) The detailed two angle model includes energy terms for stretching and bending of the bead-chain with an additional energy term for the relative twist angle between adjacent beads to account for the twisting rigidity of DNA [37]. (c) Representation of the detailed mesoscale model of Arya et al [44, 45].
