This is a page on COMPLEX BETWEEN NUCLEOSOME CORE PARTICLE (H3,H4,H2A,H2B) AND 146 BP LONG DNA FRAGMENT.
Organism of Origin
This protein comes form the African Clawed Frog (Xenopus Laevis)
Structure
There are a total of 418 which make up different histone structures on the inside.
on the outside. The DNA chains are 146 nucleotides long.
There are also 6 in this protein.
Fun fact: The DNA in this protein is palindromic.
Function
This protein is involved in DNA binding, transcription, and initiation
Significance
This protein is significant because it is a nucleosome, allowing DNA to be put into higher order structures.
