Nucleosomes consist out of 8 histone proteins wrapped with 2 loops of dNA consisting out of 140 bp each and about 60 bp are linking the nucleosomes together. Histone H1 is bound to the 60 bp linker. The nucleosomes are wound into solenoids that are stabilized by the Histones H1 30 nm DNA HI histone 6-8 nucleosomes 11 nm Nucleosome histone H1 nucleosome Core of 8 Histone molecules linker DNA Nucleosome histone octamer coreNucleosomes consist out of 8 histone proteins wrapped with 2 loops of DNA consisting out of 140 bp each and about 60 bp are linking the nucleosomes together.
