Which residues are present in histone proteins? Correct Answer Arginine & Histidine

DNA is a negatively charged molecule that wounds around histone proteins. They are rich in both arginine and histidine residues (both are positively charged Amino acids) which helps the negatively charged DNA bind to it. This forms a strong ionic bond formation allowing the DNA to be tightly packed into chromosomes.
