A quantitative analysis of histone H1 in rabbit thymus nuclei.

G H Goodwin, R H Nicolas, E W Johns
PMCID: PMC1183681  PMID: 597252

Abstract

The relative quantity of histone H1 in rabbit thymus whole histone was determined to be 17.2% (w/w). This implies that there is, on average, one histone H1 molecule per nucleosome.
