Nucleosome 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…
