    Scanning transmission electron microscopy reveals dinucleosome mass distribution. Computer analysis enhances signal, showing data consistent with current nucleosome models at 3 nm resolution.

    Area of Science:

    • Structural biology
    • Biophysics
    • Electron microscopy

    Background:

    • Understanding nucleosome structure is crucial for epigenetics and DNA regulation.
    • Previous methods faced limitations in resolving substructures of nucleosome complexes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To apply scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) for mass distribution analysis of dinucleosomes.
    • To improve signal-to-noise ratio and identify sources of variation in particle images.
    • To evaluate the potential of STEM for studying nucleosome structural variants.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) for unstained, randomly oriented dinucleosomes.
    • Employed computer analysis to process mass distribution data, enhancing signal-to-noise ratio.
