Q

Describe histones

A

A nucleosome is a section of DNA that is wrapped around a core of proteins.
DNA is a linear molecule

DNA molecule is condensed –> Wrapped around histones –> Each one has 2, get an octomer, DNA wraps around on the surface –> H1 stabilizes nucleosomes by binding to the dyad region between the entry and exit sites of DNA. (acts as a lock in space)

Highly compacted Need to open it up to do protein synthesis –> Must be in linear form

Linker DNA describes the non-nucleosomal DNA connecting two or more nucleosomes in an array.
