Effect of the genomic separation distance Δ and the encounter distance ε. (A) The mean first encounter time (MFET) data (blue circles) are fitted using eq. 6 (blue dashed). The mean first dissociation time (MFDT) data (purple squares) is fitted using eq. 9 a 2Δ exp (b 2/Δ) (purple curve), where a 2 = 0.01, b 2 = 40.36. (B) The MFET 〈τ E 〉 for 6 strain lengths Δ kbp, shown in Fig. 1B, where the encounter distance ε varies in 0.2 and 0.5 μm. (C) MFDT 〈τ D 〉 extracted from Fig. 1B and plotted for all Δ with respect to the encounter distance ε.
