Abstract

Interaction between model DNP systems of chromatin and blood sera of healthy and sick persons was investigated by a thermomechanical method. Healthy human blood serum was shown to cause decondensation of DNP systems. The intensity of this action varied when pathological sera with modified composition were used: The sera of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus increased the degree of condensation, whereas sera from patients with schizophrenia increased the decondensation of the DNP systems compared with healthy sera. The action of the sera was unconnected with activity of the serum enzymes. The role of serum components in the regulation of the structural and functional properties of chromatin is discussed.
