This experimental method does not solve the cooperativity and additivity problems of energetically important residues.
PTMs near histone DNA interfaces can promote DNA unwrapping, which increases access for DNA-binding proteins such as transcription factors, or can destabilize the entire nucleosome by perturbing energetically important contacts near the dyad.
