Item Open Access Structural and functional studies on the chromatin and nucleosome binding proteins(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2007) Chodaparambil, Jayanth Velandy, author; Luger, Karolin, advisorThe approximately two meters of eukaryotic DNA are compacted within the confines of the nucleus by hierarchical packing with an equal amount of histone proteins to form chromatin. The nucleosome is the fundamental repeating structural unit of chromatin. The nucleosome is the fundamental repeating structural unit of chromatin. Highly compacted DNA is very accessible to the transcription machinery. To understand the mystery behind the two opposing functions of the chromatin, it is essential for us to study nucleosome and chromatin structure in detail.
