The cell's genetic material, DNA, is packaged into tightly wound structures called nucleosomes. The DNA (red) is wound around two sets of core histone proteins (green) to form a kind of bead on a ...

The central part of each nucleosome (core particle) is a cylindrical structure (5.7 nanometers in height and 11 in diameter) formed by approximately two turns of DNA (147 base pairs) wrapped ...

A team of scientists led by Dr. Modesto Orozco at IRB Barcelona has developed an advanced computational technique to predict ...

Researchers say if their results are confirmed through further study they are optimistic the approach could be used to treat chronic infections for the first time.
