Abstract
The nucleus of mammalian spermatozoa is mainly composed of chromatin associated with protamines: highly basic proteins (around 7 kDa). These highly basic proteins, due to their cysteine content, can participate in the generation of disulfide bond. These characteristics permit typical condensed nuclear structure in mature spermatozoa, where the DNA becomes organized in compacted units, similar to nucleosomes, but with 60 kb of DNA. This shape is...
