A nucleosome consists of a segment of DNA wound around eight proteins known as histones. Gene expression, which lies at the basis of protein production, requires &#8220;reading&#8221; DNA, for which DNA needs to be temporarily unwrapped. Detailed studies, and especially visualizations, of DNA\u2013histone and nucleosome dynamics are crucial for a better understanding of DNA unwrapping and related processes.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2023-03-biomolecular-nanoscale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Biomolecular sliding at the nanoscale<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In organisms whose cells have a nucleus, like plants and animals, the basic packaging units of DNA are the so-called nucleosomes.
