Role of Histone Tails in Structural Stability of the Nucleosome
Figure 13
Interaction of close contact residues from Fig. 11, located near the region where H2A C terminus contacts the dyad, for intact and truncated H2A simulations.
The minimum distances between any atom of Lys44, Ile51 or Gln55 and the closest residue on the H2A C terminus (Leu116, Leu115 and Asn110, respectively) are plotted as a function of time. The white line (dotted) indicates the distance (3 ) below which residues can be regarded to be in close contact.
