[Properties of histones on hydrophobic chromatography]. / Le comportement des histones en chromatographie hydrophobe

The hydrophobic chromatography on alkylated Sepharose allows to separate the histones into three groups which exhibit an increasing affinity for the support HI less than H2A-H2B less than H3-H4. In this fractionation procedure, the behaviour of the histones taken separately or pair-associated, is discussed in relation with the ability of these proteins to complex each other in vitro and in vivo.
