Three consecutive bases on mRNA are called codons. Each codon is specific for the amino acid they code for at the time of protein synthesis.... View Article
If introns are not spliced, it may result in the formation of the wrong protein. Further reading: DNA Polymerase RNA Splicing Polygenic... View Article
Introns play an important role in alternative splicing, giving rise to multiple variants of a protein from a single gene. They also play a role... View Article
Histone tails that protrude from nucleosomes may undergo post-translational modification. Histone modifications influence the structure and... View Article
Chromatin contains DNA associated with histone proteins. Chromatin further condenses to form chromosomes. Also Explore: How Are Chromosomes... View Article
Histones help in packaging DNA into chromatin so that it can fit in the nucleus. It provides structural support to chromosomes. DNA gets wrapped... View Article
Histone proteins are generally absent in prokaryotes. Some species of Archaea have histones. Also Explore: How Are Chromosomes And Chromatin... View Article
Histones are basic proteins around which DNA is wrapped to form the repeating unit of chromatin called a nucleosome. Also Explore: How Are... View Article
Histones are rich in lysine and arginine, which are basic amino acids. They carry a positive charge in their side chains and make the histone... View Article
There are five types of histones H1, H2A, H2B, H3 and H4. The histone octamer that forms the core of nucleosomes is made up of H2A, H2B, H3 and... View Article
Histones are basic proteins around which DNA is wound for packaging and forms nucleosomes. The DNA and histone protein complex is called... View Article
The major function of histones is in DNA packaging. Also Explore: How Are Chromosomes And Chromatin Related? Does Chromatin Contain RNA?... View Article
