Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Histone H1 is known as the linker histone and plays a crucial role in stabilizing the wrapping of DNA around the histone octamer core (comprised of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) in the nucleosome structure. It binds to the DNA as it enters and exits the nucleosome, helping to lock the DNA in place and maintain the structure of chromatin.
