The structure in cells that contains  DNA and protein is the nucleosome, found in the nucleus.  In the nucleus of the cell, DNA is exists in the form of a long helical thread. It order to fit inside the nucleus, the DNA thread must be compressed enough to do so.

The cell accomplishes this by wrapping the DNA thread around a protein called histone. A single unit of DNA and histone octamer (called octamer because it consists of 8 proteins) is called a nucleosome.

The entire stretch of DNA in an average human cell is about 2 meters in length and would never fit inside a cell if not for histone proteins.

Answer:

Topoisomerase

Explanation:

Topoisomerase is an enzyme that is involved in the unwinding of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).  They are involved in double stranded DNA and they help to relieve the making of supercoils.

Topoisomerase play an important role during DNA replication, as the prevent the the twisting of the DNA double helix ahead of the replication fork. In other words, they ensure that the DNA open up for unwinding without being tightly wound.
