Figure 1.

All-atom representation (left) and CG representation (right) of the NCP. The all-atom representation is built using the NCP crystal structure (PDB: 1KX5),²⁵ where the globular domains of histone proteins are in colors; DNA is colored gray. The CG NCP structure is shown with positively and negatively charged amino acids colored in blue and red, respectively. Uncharged amino acid beads are displayed as white spheres. The beads representing the phosphate groups in DNA are in orange, while the central DNA beads are shown as green balls.
