Binding of additional histones to chromatin core particles.
Isolated nucleosome core particles from chick erythrocytes and calf thymus have been used in experiments to show that chromatin subunits can absorb more than an additional equivalent of the histones making up the nucleosome octamer with no significant alteration in external shape and structure.
