Here, we develop a model that takes into account steric interactions among the components of the Escherichia coli transcriptional-translational machinery (TTM) and out-of-equilibrium effects of mRNA transcription, translation, and degradation, in order to explain many observed features of the nucleoid.

Evidence suggests that the transport rate of a passive particle at long timescales is enhanced due to interactions with the surrounding active ones in a size- and composition-dependent manner.

At large scales, however, we find a new scaling $E(q)\sim q$, which emerges when the dissipation is dominated by the 3d oil layer.
