Visualizing a Nucleosome in Virtual Reality

Professor Dave explains the structure and visualization of nucleosomes, focusing on how DNA is packaged in cells. The video covers the DNA wrapping around histones to form nucleosomes, the structure of histone proteins, and the visualization techniques used to understand these structures. It also discusses the dimensions of nucleosomes and their role in forming chromatin. Various visualization models are explored to provide a comprehensive understanding of nucleosomes.
