chromatin fiber

chromatin fiber
the partially compacted chromatin structure formed by folding and condensation of the nucleosomes, having a diameter of 30 nm (and so sometimes called the 30-nm fiber). The exact arrangement of nucleosomes remains controversial; a classic model places them in a helical solenoid (q.v.).
