摘要：

We have studied the phase diagram for chromatin within the framework of the two-angle model. Only a rough estimation of the forbidden surface of the phase diagram for chromatin was given in a previous work of Schiessel. We revealed the fine structure of this excluded-volume borderline numerically and analytically. Furthermore, we investigated the Coulomb repulsion of the DNA linkers to compare it with the previous results.
