Description

EM images of chromatin fibers reconstituted from tandem arrays of a strong nucleosome positioning sequence flanked by 'linker' DNA, creating fibers containing 22 nucleosomes and a nucleosome repeat length (NRL) of 177 bp. Reconstitutes had saturating amounts of purified core histones and linker histones. (A) shows a montage of 'end on' views of fibers obtained by cryo-fixation and recorded in the frozen hydrated state. (B and C) contain views of 3D models considered to correspond to the images at left. See Fig 1 in P.J. Robinson et al. 2006. EM measurements define the dimensions of the "30-nm" chromatin fiber: Evidence for a compact, interdigitated structure. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 103:6506-6511.
