I found some stuff on DNA and ATP dependent nucleosome remodeling, but I don’t understand it. However, I am interested in any discussion about it, and will hang around and try not to be a nuisance.

You’re right, what’s the difference really? I suppose Addams is the better singer but other than that... :)

“nucleosomes look like beads on a string”

I've been told my DNA looks like a pearl necklace.

from the summary of the paper by Sharon E. Torigoe, Debra L. Urwin, Haruhiko Ishii, Douglas E. Smith, and James T. Kadonaga.

These pre-nucleosomes, the researchers say, are converted into nucleosomes by a motor protein that uses the energy molecule ATP (see graphic).

ATP?!? Oh, NO!!!!! Does this mean I have to relearn a REVISED Kreb's Cycle? Noooooooooooooooooo!

Are there no editors or proofreaders for pressors?
