Chromatin Notes:
Chromatin, found in eukaryotic cells, is a complex of protein and DNA. Its basic function is the packaging of long DNA molecules into a denser, more compact shape to prevent the strands from entangling. It plays a very important role in reinforcement of DNA during cell division, regulation of the gene expression and DNA replication as well as preventing DNA damage.
