The basic unit of chromatin, the nucleosome core particle (NCP), controls how DNA
in eukaryotic cells is compacted, replicated and read. Since its discovery,
biochemists have sought to understand how this protein-DNA complex can help to
control so many diverse tasks. Recent electron-microscopy (EM) studies on
NCP-containing assemblies have helped to describe important chromatin
transactions at a molecular level. With the implementation of recent technical
advances in single-particle EM, our understanding of how nucleosomes are
recognized and read looks to take a leap forward. In this review, the authors
highlight recent advances in the architectural understanding of chromatin biology
elucidated by EM.
