Abstract
Chromatin from standard preparations of nuclei stabilized by magnesium ions at 0-4°C was degraded during the nuclear isolation, and newly-synthesized chromatin was degraded slightly more slowly than the `older' chromatin. The significance of this observation, and its relation to the interpretation of the properties of nucleoprotein extracts is discussed.
