The classic "beads-on-a-string" structure is the most decondensed chromatin structure possible and is produced experimentally.Which chromatin components are NOT retained when this structure is generated?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Linker histones are not retained in the "beads-on-a-string" structure of chromatin. This structure consists of nucleosome core particles (DNA wrapped around core histones) connected by linker DNA, but the linker histones, which help in further compacting the chromatin, are not present in this most decondensed form.
