A nucleosome is the basic structural unit of DNA packaging in eukaryotes. The structure of a nucleosome consists of a segment of DNA wound around eight...

histone octamer is the eight-protein complex found at the center of a nucleosome core particle. It consists of two copies of each of the four core histone...

The nucleosome repeat length, (NRL) is the average distance between the centers of neighboring nucleosomes. NRL is an important physical chromatin property...

Nucleosome Remodeling Factor (NURF) is an ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex first discovered in Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) that catalyzes...

forming nucleosomes and the so-called beads on a string structure (euchromatin). Multiple histones wrap into a 30-nanometer fiber consisting of nucleosome arrays...

involve positive feedback where modified nucleosomes recruit enzymes that similarly modify nearby nucleosomes. A simplified stochastic model for this type...

strand disrupts parental nucleosome octamers, resulting in the release of H3-H4 and H2A-H2B subunits. Reassembly of nucleosomes behind the replication fork...

In the field of molecular biology, the Mi-2/NuRD (Nucleosome Remodeling Deacetylase) complex, is a group of associated proteins with both ATP-dependent...

Nucleosome Positioning Region Database (NPRD) is a database of nucleosome formation sites (NFSs).[when?] International Society for Computational Biology...

molecular biology, a chromatosome is a result of histone H1 binding to a nucleosome, which contains a histone octamer and DNA. The chromatosome contains 166...
