Moreover, there are various kinds of differential stress namely, tensional stress that causes the rock to stretch, the compressional stress that squeezes the rock and the shear stress which is a consequence of slippage, twisting or transformation of rocks.   </span> </span> </span></span>

Which histone protein is not part of the nucleosome structure?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

H1

Explanation:

Histones H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 are known as the core histones which means that there are building nuclesome. H1 is known as the linker histone which binds to the "linker DNA" region between nucleosomes, helping stabilize the chromatin fiber.  The linker histone H1 binds the nucleosome at the entry and exit sites of the DNA, thus locking the DNA into place and allowing the formation of higher order structure.
