Nucleosome 3C1B

Nucleosome, Biologic Models, 3C1B

A Nucleosome is the basic structural unit of DNA that assembles into a chromosome. Each nucleosome consists of a segment of DNA wound in sequence around eight histone protein cores. This structure is often compared to thread wrapped around a spool.  Use this 3D printed model Nucleosome 3C1B showing how DNA wraps around a histone core to explain…

TDP-43 Wild Type and Mutant in Complex with DNA

TDP-43, ALS, Biologic Models

TDP-43 Wild Type and Mutant in Complex with DNA ALS is a fatal motor neuron disorder characterized pathologically by TAR DNA binding protein ( TDP-43 ). The function of TDP-43 is uncertain, and role in ALS remains speculative. Genome scanning reveals mutations associated to neural apoptosis. (more…)
