Abstract
Low-angle X-ray scattering was used to investigate the organization of chicken erythrocyte chromosomes in vivo and to account for the previously observed inconsistencies in many X-ray and EM observations. Chicken erythrocyte chromosomes have a 400 .ANG. periodicity due to a nuclear structure that is directly related to the 300 .ANG. side-by-side packing of chromosome fibers revealed by EM of embedded cells. This periodicity can be preserved in isolated nuclei provided that the proper buffers are used.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
