The chain of nucleosomes is then wrapped into a 30 nm spiral called a solenoid, where additional H1 histone proteins are associated with each nucleosome to maintain the chromosome structure.

Chromatin structure is highly complex and impressively ... A nucleosome core particle consists of eight histone proteins (two each of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) and 146 base pairs of double-stranded ...

The research could contribute to the development of more effective anti-aging treatments in the future. The body's aging ...

As well as being essential in the precise packaging of DNA into the space of the nucleus, histone proteins are also the site ...

With this strategy, he discovered over 400 bacterial proteins that contain a signature 3D histone structure called a histone fold, suggesting histones could be scattered across many bacterial species.

They have been known to influence genetic expression by, for example, providing structure ... similar to a gene known to create a linker histone protein in Arabidopsis, a plant in the mustard ...
