Question

What are histone and nonhistone proteins?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The DNA is the heredity material and is double-stranded which is composed of two strands but the strands are not free. The supercoiling is the important property of DNA. It is condensed to form a complex structure with certain proteins called non-histone and histone proteins. The core of histone molecules is the site to which DNA wraps and non-histone proteins are associated with it.
