FIG. 6

(Color online) Histogram of the number of histone-DNA bonds versus winding angle, measured in base pairs from the dyad axis, recognized by NUCPLOT (using its default parameters) for a nucleosome assembled with a palindromic version of 601 DNA (PDB accession code 3UT9) [3]. Shown darker (red) and lighter (cyan) are the bonds between histones and DNA strand I and DNA strand J, respectively. It is important to emphasize that this is the only figure in this paper in which the winding angle is zero at the dyad. In every other figure, zero winding angle corresponds to the point at which no DNA is wound around the nucleosome.
