A DNA is thought to be one of three biologically active double helical structures along with B DNA B and Z DNA . It is a right handed double helix fairly similar to the more common and well known B DNA form, but with a shorter more compact helical structure. It appears likely that it occurs only in dehydrated samples of DNA, such as those used in crystallographic experiments, and possibly is also assumed by DNA RNA hybrid helices and by regions of double stranded RNA.

Linker DNA is seen as the string in the beads and string model, which is made by using an ionic solution on the chromatin. Linker DNA connects to histone H1 and histone H1 sits on the nucleosome core. Linker DNA is not associated with the transcribable DNA wrapped around the core.
