    Phys Rev Lett 99:178101. 2007
    ..To explain this effect, we generalize the Kramers-Langer theory for multidimensional barrier crossing to configuration-dependent mobility matrices...

    Arnold Sommerfeld Center for Theoretical Physics and Center for Nano Science, University of Munich, Munchen, Germany
    Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys 84:051911. 2011
    ..We also rationalize the slow exploration in the frozen limit as a subtle interplay between long jumps and long trapping times of the protein in "islands" within random DNA configurations in solution...
