Nucleosome有多小?

Nucleosome直径约 11 nm。

测量内容:DNA wrapped around histone core

Nucleosome(11 nm)与a DNA double helix(2 nm)和a ribosome(25 nm)按真实比例并排绘制
按比例绘制,从左到右依次是:DNA double helix (2 nm)、Nucleosome (11 nm)和Ribosome (25 nm)。

比较

它实际有多大?

  • About 2 would fit across a ribosome
  • As wide as about 5 DNA double helices side by side
  • About 9 would fit across a flu virus
