<span>The essential unit of DNA packaging is the nucleosome. A nucleosome consists of a small amount of DNA wrapped up with protein. The proteins that interact with DNA to form chromatin comprise a family of basic (positively charged) proteins called histones. There are five different types of histone protein: H1, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Of these, two molecules each of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 combine to form a histone octamer. DNA wraps around the octamer, making 1 3/4 turns around the protein complex. The amount of DNA associated with the histone octamer is 146 bp. The octamer plus the DNA comprise what is called the nucleosome core. A small stretch of DNA (60 bp) runs between adjacent nucleosome cores, and is known as the linker. A single nucleosome consists of one core plus a linker. The total amount of DNA involved in a single nucleosome is approximately 206 bp. Chromatin therefore consists of DNA wrapped around one histone octamer after another, like a long string of beads.</span>

¿Que retos tiene la comunidad cientifica para llegar a contrarrestar la acción de coronavirus en el cuerpo humano.?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The most important challenge that the scientific community has to face is to develop a vaccine that effectively targets some of the proteins encoded by SARS-CoV-2.

Explanation:

It has been shown that SARS‐CoV-2 encodes for 27 different proteins. These proteins include 4 structural (among them, the spike glycoprotein, responsible for the pathogenicity of this virus), 15 nonstructural, and 8 proteins that have auxiliary functions (Liu et al. 2020). From the emergence of this disease, the scientific community has worked to understand how the immune system responds against specific protein regions of SARS-CoV-2 (i.e., antigen regions) by targeting and inactivating the virus.

You can read this important publication above cited:

Liu, Z., Xiao, X., Wei, X., Li, J., Yang, J., Tan, H., ... & Liu, L. (2020). Composition and divergence of coronavirus spike proteins and host ACE2 receptors predict potential intermediate hosts of SARS‐CoV-2. Journal of medical virology, 92(6), 595-601.
