Why Histones are required to associate DNA? - Cuntorio

Eukaryotic DNA has a group of proteins associated with it. These small, basic proteins are called histones. They are basic because approximately 25 percent of the amino acid residues present are either arginine or lysine. These are tightly bound to the DNA and total approximately half of the mass of a chromosome. A complex of the cell’s DNA and associated protein is a chromatin, and there are
