Example conformation of a chromatin fiber with depletion effects. The linker histone skip rate is 6% and the nucleosome skip rate is 8%. The linker histone skips are marked orange. One can see that the concept of a regular 30 nm fiber does not hold anymore, if one includes histone depletion. Instead, one gets very flexible coil-like structures of compact regions which are separated by blank DNA stretches. The fiber has a total length of 394 kbp.
