Figure 8

Key tail:DNA interactions of the H4 tail. (A) Distance map of tail residues and the phosphate group of each nucleotide for the three most populated clusters of the H4 tail. Orange and green boxes indicate the two strands of DNA, as in Fig. 7. Blue circles and red circles indicate contacts between lysines and arginines, respectively, and DNA phosphate (cutoff 0.3 nm). Green numbers denote the number of neutralized charges. (B) Schematic view of tail:DNA interactions. Gray boxes indicate interactions found in all three clusters. Red dashed line illustrate the cation-π interaction of K16. To see this figure in color, go online.
