Histone proteins and positively charged because they are rich in basic amino acid residues
- A Arginine and Proline
- B Arginine and Alanine
- C Arginine and Lysine
- D Arginine and Phenylalanine
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Arginine and Lysine
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(C) Arginine and Lysine,
Histones are positively charged because they contain a very high amount of positively charged amino acids such as lysines and arginines. These amino acids are positively charged because they are basic in nature. Due to this reason, histones are called a set of positively charged basic proteins.
