What is the structure formed when DNA is wrapped around the positively charged histone octamer?

Step-by-step solution

In eukaryotes, this organization is much more complex. There is a set of positively charged, basic proteins called histones. A protein acquires charge depending upon the abundance of amino acids residues with charged side chains. Histones are rich in the basic amino acid residues lysine and arginine. Both the amino acid residues carry positive charges in their side chains. Histones are organized to form a unit of eight molecules called histone octamer. The negatively charged DNA is wrapped around the positively cha
