Figure 1

Mesoscale modeling of linker-histone bound oligonucleosomes. The nucleosome core is modeled as an irregular-shaped rigid body with 300 pseudo charges on it surface. The linker DNA is treated using the discrete version of the worm-like chain model. The linker histone is treated as charged beads connected rigidly to the nucleosome and the histone tails are treated using the protein bead model. The bottom figure at center shows the final integrated mesoscale model.
