Researchers at Kanazawa University have used nanoendoscopy atomic force microscopy to create nanoscale maps of nuclear ...
This Brush Up is sponsored by Cayman Chemical. Learn more about chemical inhibitors of histone modification. Histone modification affects how tightly DNA wraps around histone proteins, yielding ...
Chemical changes to histones, the proteins that help to pack and organize DNA inside cells, play a key role in determining what genes will be consistently activated over the course of an animal or ...
Strands of DNA wrapped around a histone. Credit: Molekuul/Science Source Histones are among the most abundant proteins in the body. They act as spools that help compact DNA so our enormous genomes ...
Salt stress remains a critical challenge for plant growth, especially in crops like pea (Pisum sativum L.). This study explores the role of histone modifications in regulating pea's response to salt ...
