The fluorescence and polarography methods are used to establish certain differences in conformation characteristics of transcriptionally active and repressed forms of rat liver chromatin. The data obtained prove the nucleo-soma ability to aggregation in the repressed chromatin and confirm a decondensed character of packing in transcriptionally active chromatin. It is supposed that these peculiarities are connected with different content of calcium and iron ions in the studied fractions of chromatin. Lipids, being the components of chromatin fractions, are packed with proteins in a form of bilayer structure. The packing character is similar in the both chromatin fractions. But microviscosity of the lipid bilayer in transcriptionally active chromatin is significantly lower than that in the repressed one and this may be one of reasons of different transcriptional activity and ability to peroxidation of the studied chromatin forms.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012313 RNA A polynucleotide consisting essentially of chains with a repeating backbone of phosphate and ribose units to which nitrogenous bases are attached. RNA is unique among biological macromolecules in that it can encode genetic information, serve as an abundant structural component of cells, and also possesses catalytic activity.
