What is the function of histones in DNA packaging?
Histones are the basic proteins that binds the DNA to form the eukaryotic chromosome. They are responsible for the chromosome organization called the nucleosome. Nucleosomes (provides the first level of DNA packing) contains histone octamer which contains two copies of each histone type. Histones are rich in arginine and lysine; and contains positive charge that neutralize the negatively charged DNA helix.
