The histone family's H2A protein family act as a subunits of eukaryotic nucleosomes. Specifically, H2A molecules form dimers with H2B molecules that interact with tetramers of histones H3 and H4 to form the octameric histone core of the nucleosome. All of the core histone proteins, including H2A, also interact with DNA in ways that allow for DNA compaction.

This is a sample scene created with SAT to by Group, and another to make of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
