1975 P. Oudet et al. in Cell 4 289/1 The fundamental structure of chromatin fibers is composed of a flexible chain of spherical particles with a diameter of 124–130 Å connected by DNA filaments. We have termed these particles ‘nucleosomes’, to evoke their nuclear origin and their resemblance to the ‘nu’ (ν) bodies described by Olins and Olins (1974).
1976 Nature 12 Aug. 533/1 Electron micrographs of suitably lysed nuclei show linear arrays of interconnected roughly spherical particles about 10 nm diameter called beads, ν-bodies, or nucleosomes.
1985 C. R. Leeson et al. Textbk. Histol. (ed. 5) i. 57/2 The nucleosome contains a double-stranded DNA fragment 140 to 200 base pairs long bound to an octameric histone core.
