'The amino termini of histones extend from the nucleosomal core and are modified by acetyltransferases and deacetylases during the cell cycle. These acetylation patterns may direct histone assembly and help regulate the unfolding and activity of genes.
## Abstract In spermiogenic nuclei of the cephalopod mollusc __Sepia officinalis__ histones are replaced by a precursorβprotamine molecule, which is later converted into protamine. Simultaneously, spermiogenic chromatin undergoes a complex structural change. Somaticβlike chromatin belonging to the
The effect of histone acetylation was monitored on CHO chromatin structure, following the addition of 7 mM Na-butyrate to the cell culture medium. The properties of both control and hyperacetylated chromatins and nuclei were investigated by circular dichroism, ethidium bromide intercalation, differe
