Cryo-electron microscopy enables the profiling of molecular interactions between macromolecular complexes acting on DNA
DNA is a long molecule encoding genetic information. In its full length, it could not be encapsulated within the cell. Hence, proteins such as histone are important players in spooling and condensing DNA into structures known as nucleosomes that facilitate the packaging of long DNA molecules into structures small enough to fit inside individual cells. … More Cryo-electron microscopy enables the profiling of molecular interactions between macromolecular complexes acting on DNA
