DNA structure within the cell
DNA is associated with proteins in cells, both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, even viruses. DNA and its associated proteins is called a chromosome

Nucleosome
• Nucleosome is the basic block (lowest level) of chromatin organization.
• Most of genomic DNA is confined in nucleosomes (one nucleosome per 146 base pairs on average).
• Nucleosome core particle consist of histone octamer (two molecules each of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 histone proteins) and super-coiled double-stranded DNA 125-166 base pairs long.

The nucleosome, was described by Roger Kornberg in 1974.

How the people discover the nucleosome?

First, partial digestion of chromatin with micrococcal nuclease (an enzyme that degrades DNA) was found to yield DNA fragments approximately 200 base pairs long. In contrast, a similar digestion of naked DNA (not associated with proteins) yielded a continuous smear of randomly sized fragments. These results suggested that the binding of proteins to DNA in chromatin protects regions of the DNA from nuclease digestion, so that the enzyme can attack DNA only at sites separated by approximately 200 base pairs.
Consistent with this notion, electron microscopy revealed that chromatin fibers have a beaded appearance, with the beads spaced at intervals of approximately 200 base pairs. Thus, both the nuclease digestion and the electron microscopic studies suggested that chromatin is composed of repeating 200-base-pair units, which were called nucleosomes.
Two types of experiments led to Kornberg's proposal of the nucleosome model.

Micrococcal nuclease
Micrococcal nuclease is an endonuclease that cleaves DNA; in chromatin, DNA is cleaved preferentially between nucleosomes.

Microccocal nuclease initially cleaves between nucleosomes. Mononucleosomes typically have ~200 bp DNA. End-trimming reduces the length of DNA first to ~165 bp, and then generates core particles with 146 bp.

Micrococcal nuclease digests chromatin in nuclei into a multimeric series of DNA bands that can be separated by gel electrophoresis.

Who decides nucleosome position?
• Is nucleosome position random?
• Does it depend on the DNA sequence?
It majorly depends on DNA sequences, But not all.

How does DNA sequence contribute to nucleosome positioning?
• significant periodicities of dinucleotides and that DNA bending or flexibility helps in determining nucleosome position.
