Nucleosome core particles are observed when chromatin in interphase is treated to cause the chromatin to unfold partially. The resulting image, via an electron microscope, is "beads on a string". The string is the DNA, while each bead in the nucleosome is a core particle. The nucleosome core particle is composed of DNA and histone proteins. [29]
Around 146 base pairs (bp) of DNA wrap around this core particle 1.65 times in a left-handed super-helical turn to give a particle of around 100 Angstroms across. [8] The linker histone H1 binds the nucleosome at the entry and exit sites of the DNA, thus locking the DNA into place [9] and allowing the formation of higher order structure. The ...
A nucleosome is a combination of DNA + histone proteins. Nucleoproteins are proteins conjugated with nucleic acids (either DNA or RNA ). [ 1 ] Typical nucleoproteins include ribosomes , nucleosomes and viral nucleocapsid proteins.
One chromatin molecule is composed of at least one of each core histones per 100 base pairs of DNA. [2] There are five families of histones known to date; these histones are termed H1/H5, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. [3] H2A is considered a core histone, along with H2B, H3 and H4. Core formation first occurs through the interaction of two H2A ...

Basic units of chromatin structure. Histone H3 is one of the five main histones involved in the structure of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. [1] [2] Featuring a main globular domain and a long N-terminal tail, H3 is involved with the structure of the nucleosomes of the 'beads on a string' structure.
Two molecules of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) form an octamer, around which approximately 146 bp of DNA is wrapped in repeating units, called nucleosomes. The linker histone, H1, interacts with linker DNA between nucleosomes and functions in the compaction of chromatin into higher order structures.
The nucleosome assembles when DNA wraps around the histone octamer, two H2A-H2B dimers bound to an H3-H4 tetramer. The nucleosome core particle is the most basic form of DNA compaction in eukaryotes. Nucleosomes consist of a histone octamer surrounded by 146 base pairs of DNA wrapped in a superhelical manner. [10]
