Ethidium bromide binding to core particle: comparison with native chromatin.
AUTOR(ES)
Erard, M
RESUMO
Ethidium bromide intercalation into DNA of nuclease digested erythrocyte chromatin and core particle, was followed at low ionic strength by fluorescence measurements, equilibrium dialysis using 14C labelled dye, circular dichroism and electron microscopy. High affinity binding sites in the chromatin are no more present in the core particle, i.e. when the linker is removed. In the case of core particle, a cooperative process occurs, accompanied by a partial stripping of the DNA from the core histone. Finally two populations of core particles can be detected by electron microscopy as far as their binding properties are concerned.
