In bacteria the chromosome or nucleoid is a naked double stranded DNA. The bacterial DNA is folded with the help of RNAs forming a super coiled circular complex. The coiling is stabilized with the help of non-histonic polyamines and a number of positively charged ions. Eukaryotic DNA is associated with histone proteins that are helpful in its coiling to form chromatin fibres.
