Changes in Chromatin Structure during Transcription
In this article we will discuss about the changes in chromatin structure during transcription. Displacement of nucleosomes: During transcription, some changes in the chromatin structure occur in the region of transcription. RNA polymerase is comparatively larger in size than the nucleosomes. The molecular weight of RNA polymerase is about 5,00,000 Daltons, while that of nucleosome is about 2,60,000 Daltons. Lewin [...]
