FIG 1.
Assembly of the nucleosome core particle. (A) Association of the (H3/H4)2 tetramer with DNA nucleates nucleosome assembly and defines the dyad axis. (B) H2A/H2B dimer. (C) Two H2A/H2B dimers are deposited to generate the nucleosome core particle. H3 N-terminal tails emerge near the DNA entry/exit points (based on data reported under PDB accession number 1KX5).
