DNA: Structure I
• Chromosomes• Chromatin• Histones
Chromosomes
Eukaryotic Chromosomes
• DNA and HistoneProteins
• packaging of DNA • nucleosomes
Chromatin Structure
Histones
• Composed of proteins • rich in lysine and
arginine• conserved
Structure of Nucleosomes
• H2a, H2b, H3, H4 octamer
• H1 linker
Histone H1
Replication of histones
Requires histone chaperone proteins
DNA structure II
• DNA• Composition of DNA • Evidence for genetic material • Structure • Implications of the structure
DNA & Nucleotides
