Abstract excerpt

Due the likely role of H1 histone variants in inducing the formation of folded DNA filaments with different stabilities, the condensing capacity of the testis-specific H1t versus the somatic variants was tested. Circular dichroism analyses of rat testis H1-depleted oligonucleosomes (5-2kbp) revea...
