The Effect of Trypsin on Nuclease-resistant Chromatin Fragments

Abstract

Abstract Fragments of calf thymus chromatin that selectively resist micrococcal nuclease digestion are found to be highly compact nucleoprotein particles, each containing a single piece of tightly folded or supercoiled DNA. These particles exhibit an anomalous CD spectrum, and melt in the upper end of the chromatin melting range. Upon trypsin digestion, only about 20% of the protein is removed, but the properties of the particles are greatly modified. They unfold, as judged from hydrodynamic studies, the CD spectrum becomes very much like that of DNA, and the melting point drops by about 20°. We conclude that proteins in the particles serve to maintain the compact structure.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
