Arrangement of Histones in Chromatin

Abstract

INVESTIGATIONS on the role of histones in maintaining the structure and regulating the function of chromatin are hampered by the lack of available methods for the study of the state of these molecules in the native nucleoprotein complex. It has been reported that purified histone fractions elicit specific antibodies1 and that anti-F1 histone antibodies can be used to study the tissue specificity of these proteins2,3.
