Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules). Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a histone, any of a group of water-soluble proteins found in association with the DNA of plant and animal chromosomes. They are involved in the condensation and coiling of chromosomes during cell division and have also been implicated in nonspecific suppression of gene activity. 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 an acetylated lysine residue within a histone. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a methylated residue on a histone protein. Histones are any of a group of water-soluble proteins found in association with the DNA of plant and animal chromosomes. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a histone that is assembled into a nucleosome.
