H2A.B may alter the structural dynamics of the linker DNA in the chromatosome. a RMSFs of the nucleotides calculated from the CG simulations. For each system, average values calculated from three independent CG simulations are plotted, and standard deviations are shown as errors that are represented by shade. b A snapshot of the H2A chromatosome in the CG simulation. c A snapshot of the H2A.B chromatosome in the CG simulation. Two angles, P1–P2–P4 and P3–P4–P2, are defined. d The angle distribution in the H2A chromatosome (black) and the H2A.B chromatosome (red) during the CG simulations
