We have observed that the viscosity of a solution of E. wli chromatin increases as the shear to which the solution is subjected is suddenly increased. This dilatant effect is opposite to the usual thixotropic non-Newtonian effects that are observed in DNA solutions. We suggest that the observed dila

Increasing the ionic strength of rat liver chromatin solutions above 0.4 M causes increasing viscosity. This indicates transformation of the compact chromatin molecules to more elongated forms. In the range of 0.4-0.5 M ionic strength histone H1 is dissociating continuously from the chromatin and th
## Abstract A modification of a viscometer originally proposed by Zimm and Crothers in 1962 is presented, which may be used to measure ultra low shear viscosity for highly dilute polymer solutions. This may provide useful information on polymer coil dimensions and relaxation time. Use of the low sh
A method is suggested for calculating stresses in sheared polymeric liquids. It synthesizes Kirkwood's correlation function techniques and Fixman's formulation for the stress tensor P. The dependence of P on powers of solute concentration, in the concentrated solution range, arises from a considerat
