  • Chromatin, which is found in all cells, is composed of DNA and its surrounding proteins and can be found in one of two conformations: closed chromatin (heterochromatin) - when the genetic material is packed in a way that prevents the expression of the genes -- and open chromatin (euchromatin) - when chromatin is accessible to the gene expression machinery.

  • Chromatin is the term used to describe the mixture of DNA (genetic code) and the small basic proteins, histones, which together make up chromosomes.

  • The paper titled: "Curaxins: Anticancer Compounds that Simultaneously Suppress NF-kappaB and activate p53 by Targeting FACT," shows that Curaxins' ability to inhibit tumor cell growth and division is mediated by functional inactivation of a chromatin remodeling complex named Facilitates Chromatin Transcription FACT, which makes it a novel cancer treatment target.
