Deoxyribonucleoprotein

Nucleosome=DNA + histones: Crystal structure[1]). Histones H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 are proper colored, DNA is gray.
Nucleosome: DNA + histone configuration

Deoxyribonucleoprotein (DNP) is the complex of DNA and protein[2] in which DNA is usually found upon cell disruption and isolation.[3][4]

The most widespread deoxyribonucleoproteins are nucleosomes, in which the component is nuclear DNA. The proteins are combined with DNA are histone]s and protamines; resulting nucleoproteins are located in chromosomes. Thus, the entire chromosome, i.e. chromatine material in eukaryotes] consists of such nucleoproteines.[5][6]

Many viruses are a little more than an organized collection dezoksribonuleoproteina.
