A method is given for the preparation of four non-histone chromosomal proteins, one of
which, protein 14, hitherto has not been isolated. The method also enables the preparation
of histone H1 in gram quantities. The four non-histone chromosomal proteins so prepared
are all polar molecules over 50% of each being composed of acidic and basic amino acids.
It is also shown that protein 14 can be prepared from calf thymus without prior isolation of
chromatin.
