Role of Histone Tails in Structural Stability of the Nucleosome
Figure 9
Interactions with Arg88 of H2A(2) during the intact and H3 tail-truncated simulations.
(A) Number of H-bonds between Arg88 and selected surrounding residues from intact and H3 tail-truncated simulations. The selected surrounding residues are shown in (B) and (C). (B) Arg88 H-bonds to Asn94, Gly98 and Val100 of H2A(2) during the intact nucleosome simulation. (C) Arg88 H-bonds to Glu105 of H3(1) and Ala135 of H3(2) in the H3 tail-truncated simulation.
