DNA’s packaging can be just as important and intricate as the information in the DNA itself. Researchers are analyzing the structure of two enzymes that customize histones, including histone demethylase PHF8 pictured above. Histones have a core that the DNA wraps around and flexible tails—pictured in red—extending beyond the core.
EMORY (US)—Researchers have determined the structures of two enzymes that customize histones, the spool-like proteins around which DNA coils inside the cell. Continue…
