a: Histone ~
b: cylinder

What: "Non-helical model is also useful for histone binding of DNA, but the difference between histone and protamine is as the guy differentiates, histone is globular protein and protamine is a beta sheet. What this means is protamine is like a fibril adjacent to DNA, but histone is like a cylinder and DNA is the coil that wraps around it. So even though DNA is non-helical and the strands do not turn around each other, double stranded DNA turns around the histone. "
