PPT- Histone Proteins Dr. Nivedita Patnaik

Chromatin is made of repeating units of nucleosomes which consist of 146 base pairs of DNA wrapped around an octamer of four core histone proteins H3 H4 H2A and H2B Introduction Histones are a special group of proteins found in the nuclei of eukaryotic cells responsible for DNA folding and chromatin formation.
