The selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric, interaction of a molecule with one or more specific sites on another molecule. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with chromatin, the network of fibers of DNA and protein that make up the chromosomes of the eukaryotic nucleus during interphase. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with DNA of a specific structure or configuration e.g. triplex DNA binding or bent DNA binding. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with the DNA portion of a nucleosome. Interacting selectively and non-covalently and stoichiometrically with a chromatin insulator sequence, a DNA sequence that prevents enhancer-mediated activation or repression of transcription. Any molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Interacting selectively and non-covalently with DNA that is assembled into chromatin.
