An All-Atom Model of the Chromatin Fiber Containing Linker Histones Reveals a Versatile Structure Tuned by the Nucleosomal Repeat Length
Figure 6
Illustration of the IK chain used in order to place linkers in between consecutive nucleosomes.
In pink we show the nucleosomal DNA and in yellow the DNA linker. The bones supporting the linker DNA are shown in blue. We start from a straight conformation and then try to see whether or not it is possible to superimpose the last bp of the DNA linker (in red) with the first DNA bp of the consecutive nucleosome (in green) when relocating the effector on the target.
