title: The transition of the higher-order structure of rat liver chromatin takes place at about 85% neutralization of DNA charges.
abstract: The salt dependence of the stoichiometry in the binding of linker histone to rat liver chromatin was analysed. It was found that the transition of the higher-order structure of chromatin (between folded and unfolded) takes place at the point of approximately 85% neutralization of DNA charges in chromatin, as in a related process in the B-Z transition of double-helical DNA.
