Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

Elemental activities, such as catalysis or binding, describing the actions of a gene product at the molecular level. A given gene product may exhibit one or more molecular functions. The selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric, interaction of a molecule with one or more specific sites on another molecule. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with chromatin, the network of fibers of DNA and protein that make up the chromosomes of the eukaryotic nucleus during interphase. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a nucleosome, a complex comprised of DNA wound around a multisubunit core and associated proteins, which forms the primary packing unit of DNA into higher order structures. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with DNA that is assembled into chromatin.
