What is the diameter of the DNA molecule?

The diameter of the alpha helix structure of DNA is 2nm, the diameter after having wrapped around the first histone is 11nm. That string wraps around another histone forming a 30nm chain, and so forth until you reach the chromasomal structure of roughly 700nm.

What does the term 'histone acetylation' means?

Histones are proteins that organize DNA in the chromatin of eukaryotes (cells that have membrane enclosed nuclei). Acetylation means the introduction of acetyl group to a molecule. In essence, Histone Acetylation removes the positive charge on the histones which, in turn, causes a decrease in the interaction with negatively charged phosphates in DNA.


What is role of histone phosphorylation?

Since phosphate groups have a negative charge, adding them to histone tails neutralizes them and probably reduces their affinity for DNA. It might contribute to transcription because it stimulates histone acetyltransferases which cause histone acetylation and enhance transcription.
