Correction: Corrigendum: Structural basis of a nucleosome containing histone H2A.B/H2A.Bbd that transiently associates with reorganized chromatin

Scientific Reports 3: Article number: 3510; published online: 16 December 2013; updated: 13 July 2015

The DLS data shown in Figure 5b was obtained using the 146 bp α-satellite DNA derivative, rather than the 145 bp 601 DNA fragment.

Under the subheading ‘Solution structure of the H2A.B nucleosome’:

“In this analysis, we used the 145 bp 601 DNA fragment, which reportedly forms a stably positioned nucleosome³. Consistent with previous electron and atomic force microscopic analyses²⁹, the mean particle size of the H2A.B octasome with the 145 bp 601 DNA fragment was clearly larger than that of the canonical H2A octasome (Fig. 5a and b).’’
