Genomic nucleosome in motion
The image shows three microseconds from the life time of a nucleosome. Snapshots in time were taken every 4 nanoseconds and were superimposed on the core region of the histones (white). The positions of the DNA and the flexible histone tails in all snapshots are shown. The DNA is in yellow and the histone tails in blue (histone H3), green (histone H4), orange (histone H2A, N-terminal), red (histone H2A, C-terminal), cyan (histone H2B). Huertas et al 2021
