I asked my graduate student to reconstitute nucleosomes in vitro. She purified the 4 histones from E. coli, mixed them in equimolar amounts in a buffer with low salt to make octamers. She then tried to make nucleosomes by adding DNA to these octamers. Did she succeed in making the nucleosomes?

Which statement does NOT describe DNA structure? The phosphates and sugars of the nucleotides form the “backbone” of the double helix. The two complementary strands are held together by hydrogen bonds. The nitrogen bases of the nucleotides project towards the center of the helix. The 5-carbon sugar in each nucleotide is ribose.

When DNA is compacted by histones into 10-nm and 30-nm fibers, the DNA is unable to interact with proteins required for gene expression. Therefore, to allow for these proteins to act, the chromatin must constantly alter its structure. Which processes contribute to this activity? a. nucleotide removal b. hydrolysis of DNA molecules where they are wrapped around the nucleosome core c. DNA coiling at or around H1 d. accessibility of heterochromatin to deacetylase enzymes e. acetylation of histone proteins What...

Radioactive nucleotides can be added to cells to study DNA replication. Basically, if radioactive nucleotides are added to a cell, any nucleotide strands that are already present remain non-radioactive but any new strands that are made while the radioactive nucleotides are present are radioactive. In other words, the DNA template (or parent strand) would NOT be radioactive but the new DNA strands (daughter strands) would be. We can then extract the DNA for study or we can use this technique...
