Neutron‐scattering studies of chromatin core particles in solutions containing various mixtures of D 2 O/H 2 O and small molecules (glycerol) show that the water closely associated (or bound) with the particles is largely in the outer DNA‐rich regions. This confirms the fact that the particles contain a core composed of the hydrophobic regions of histone proteins.
