In the chromatin of 24-h regenerating rat livers, derivative melting profiles are characterized by a high proportion of transitions above 90°C. After the injection of diethylnitrosamine there is a rapid shift to lower melting temperatures. This is due to a rearrangement of the chromatin to higher amounts of nucleosomal components but possibly also a consequence of chemical modifications and conformational alterations of the DNA. In the nonregenerating liver essentially the same observations can be made, although reactions proceed significantly slower. These results are in good agreement with the observation that carcinogens are more active in tissues stimulated to rapid proliferation as compared to resting tissues.

Abstract Rat liver chromatin was titrated by poly-ᴅ-lysine of mol.wt. 140,000. Approximately 32% of the phosphate groups of the chromatin were found to react with the polycation. By submitting the chromatin-poly-ᴅ-lysine complex to pronase and DNase I digestion and by further submitting the obtained DNA-lysine complex to hydroxy-apatite-chromatography, "free" DNA was isolated. The mean S-value of this DNA was found to be 10 ± 0 .8 , corresponding to approximately 2100 nucleo­ tide pairs, its renaturation kinetics similar to total DNA. On the basis of these results and on the findings that histone-saturated DNA-histone recombinates are digested with DNase I up to 65% a model of chromatin structure was proposed, taking into account protein covered-and free DNA regions
