Interaction of histone H1 with superhelical DNA. Conformational studies and influence of ionic strength. 1984

M Böttger, and C U von Mickwitz, and S Scherneck, and R Lindigkeit

The interaction of histone H1 with superhelical SV40 DNA at low ionic strength (approximately 0.02 M NaCl) results in the formation of DNP double-fibers and bundle- and cablelike twisted side-by-side associates of several of these double-fibers. On the basis of simple cylindrical or ellipsoidal models the sedimentation properties of these structures can be calculated in accordance with the experiment allowing a direct assignment of electron microscopical and hydrodynamic results. Sedimentation measurements in dependence on the ionic strength indicate a redistribution of H1 resulting in the formation of associates at 0.04 M NaCl and of aggregates at higher salt concentration. Double-fibers are present up to physiological salt concentrations.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
