Nucleosome: Histone Octamer and Wrapping DNA

Packaging of DNA into chromosomes is achieved through the nucleosome, the basic chromatin unit. In a nucleosome, the core octamer of histones, composed of two H3(red)-H4(green) and H2A(orange)- H2B(blue), is wrapped by the 146 bp DNA in two turns (1AOI.pdb; ref. Luger et al. Nature v389, 251).

great respect!

i've just begun to think about to make chromosome into music, then i found your website as well as videos, and found you've been much ahead before my imagination. great! but i would expect some more complicated and aesthetics-compatible coding system to fit better to our traditional music type.

Thank you biopolyhedron for the comments. I believe the sequence and structural data of bio-macromolecules offer much to be appreciated in scientific and artistic ways. I look forward learning your progress.

Can I borrow your music? I need a theme-song for my 1970s public television show1 XD

Just kidding - cool video ^_^

Yea, thanks for the detailed explanations; it was really helpful.

[MsGrammarnazi]

Your comment cracked me up! I swear I will laugh all day about this.
