01
histon, histonprotein
a type of protein that plays a structural role in the packaging of DNA into nucleosomes, fundamental units of chromatin
Exempel
Histones act as spools around which DNA winds, forming compact structures called nucleosomes.
Histoner fungerar som spolar kring vilka DNA lindar, vilket bildar kompakta strukturer som kallas nukleosomer.
Nucleosomes, composed of histone proteins and DNA, are the basic repeating units of chromatin.
Nukleosomer, bestående av histon-proteiner och DNA, är de grundläggande upprepande enheterna av kromatin.
