Fig. 2. DNA-histone interactions in the nucleosome (based on NCP147 simulation).

Fig. 2

a Profile of stable amino acid residue-nucleotide contacts during the first microsecond of simulations plotted for the left half of the nucleosomal DNA. Individual histone residues are labeled on top of each bar. Residues that formed stable contacts for the entire 15 µs trajectory are shown in black frames. b Changes in the number of DNA-histone atom-atom contacts along MD trajectory. c The average number of histone-DNA atom-atom contacts classified by interacting entities: histone core or tail parts, DNA phosphates, sugars or bases.
