The second level of organization is the coiling of the 10-nm fiber of nucleosomes into a helical array to constitute the fiber of diameter 30 nm.

30 nm compacts the DNA 40-fold. This structure of this fiber requires the histone tails and is stabilized by linker histones.

This 30-nm fiber is further folded, results in 1000-fold compaction in euchromatin in interphase chromatin and in mitotic chromosomes to achieve an overall 10,000- fold compaction in euchromatin.
