The below mentioned article provides notes on DNA-Histone Complex. Eukaryotic nuclear DNA remains complexed with basic histone proteins, RNA and acidic proteins in a compact form of organization in which the majority of DNA sequences are functionally inactive. DNA with the histone proteins form a subunit having the same type of design in all eukaryotes. Each subunit consists of about [...]
In this article we will discuss about Denaturation and Renaturation of DNA Double Helix. Denaturation of DNA: Denaturation of DNA double helix takes place by the following denaturating agents: (i) Denaturation by Temperature: If a DNA solution is heated to approximately 90°C or above there will be enough kinetic energy to denature the DNA completely causing it to separate into [...]
