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 ...
