The H2A.B NCP is more dynamic than the H2A NCP. a Time evolution of the RMSD of the DNA during the AA-MD simulations. The RMSD values were calculated using all the P atoms. b Distribution of the DNA end-to-end distances from the AA-MD simulations. The distances were calculated between the first P atom at the entry and the first P atom at the exit. c A representative structure of the H2A NCP that has a peak DNA end-to-end distance of 72 Å. d A representative structure of the H2A.B NCP that has a peak DNA end-to-end distance of 128 Å. e Time evolution of the number of the unwrapped DNA base pairs during the MD simulations. In a, b, e for each system, average values calculated from the three independent simulations are plotted, and standard deviations are shown as errors that are represented by shade
