Chicken Polynucleosomes, Purified (HSW)

Polynucleosomes purified from chicken erythrocytes using a high salt wash (HSW). The nucleosome is the basic subunit of chromatin consisting of the histone octamer (two each of the four core histones, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) wrapped by 147 base pairs of DNA. As shown by the size of the DNA species, Chicken Polynucleosomes are predominantly trimers, tetramers, and pentamers, and due to the HSW do not contain histone H1.
