title: Histone structure and the organization of the nucleosome.
abstract: Chromatin structure is now believed to be dynamic and intimately related with cellular processes such as transcription. Over the past few years, high-resolution structures for the histones have become available. These structures and their implications for nucleosome organization are reviewed here.
