[NEW!]Right: Nature cover with the nucleosome structure.

The making of the nucleosome

The tour is still under construction!

Histones are shown in the following colors:
H2A - green,
H2B - blue,
H3 - yellow,
H4 - red,
H5 - purple.

If you use Netscape 2, the image on the left should be animated. Use "Stop Loading" command to freeze a frame.

Otherwise you can watch its component slides separately
( 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ) or together

More construction blocks ...

ObQuote: A eukaryotic chromosome made out of self-assembling 70Å units, which could perhaps be made to crystallize, would necessitate rewriting our basic textbooks on cytology and genetics! I have never read such a naive paper purporting to be of such fundamental significance. Definitely it should not be published anywhere! Anonymous review of paper submitted by D.F.L. Woodcock, 1973.
