摘要
Electrophoretic separation under native conditions may be used for purification of protein molecules and their complexes with DNA and other ligands. Here, we employed this approach to separate protein-DNA complexes with a molecular weight of approximately 200 kDa: mono- and dinucleosomes. The purified mononucleosomes were subjected to single particle electron microscopy study using negative stain contrasting, and the two-dimensional projections of the nucleosomes at 25 Å resolution were obtained. A comparison of the nucleosome projections before and after separation in the native PAGE revealed different orientation of particles on the carbon film. © 2017, Allerton Press, Inc.
