Structural-functional model of the mitotic chromosome

V Yu Polyakov et al. Biochemistry (Mosc). 2006 Jan.

Abstract

In the present review the structural role of noncoding DNA, mechanisms of differential staining of mitotic chromosomes, and structural organization of different levels of DNA compactization are discussed. A structural-functional model of the mitotic chromosome is proposed based on the principle of discreteness of structural levels of DNA compactization.
