Spectroscopic studies (nuclear magnetic resonance, circular dichroism and infrared) have been carried out on chicken erythrocyte histone H5 and on three peptides cleaved therefrom: 1-31, 32-197 and 58-197. It is shown that at ionic strengths above o.1M part of the H5 molecule takes up a globular conformation containing 14% alpha helix but no beta sheet structure. Several details of the circular dichroism and nuclear magnetic resonace spectra indicate that the globular region is located in the N-terminal half of the molecule and this proposal is supported by the observation that the peptide 32-197 is largely incapable of folding and the peptide 59-197 is completely incapable of folding. Structural similarities and differences between histone H5 and histone H1 are discussed.
