Each of us has enough DNA to reach from here to the sun and back, more than 300 times. How is all of that DNA packaged so tightly into chromosomes and squeezed into a tiny nucleus? Histones are a ...

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have ...

Scientists at Purdue University and the University of Minnesota have solved the three-dimensional structure of the central component of a biological "motor" that powers the DNA packaging system in a ...

The answer to this question lies in the process known as DNA packaging, which is the phenomenon of fitting DNA into dense compact forms (Figure 7). During DNA packaging, long pieces of double ...
