...e structures along the DNA. Structure The histones make up the central core particle of the nucleosome. The DNA is wrapped around this protein complex in two turns, with each turn consisting of about 80 base pairs . Together with the DNA linking two nucleosomes, there are about 200 bps of DNA p...
