The bacterial nucleoid is a dynamic, membrane-less compartment in which chromosomal DNA associates with various proteins and RNA molecules to achieve a compact yet accessible organisation. A ...

Nucleoid-associated proteins in bacteria perform roles that influence all of the major DNA transactions. In Escherichia coli and other Gram-negative bacteria, the H-NS nucleoid-associated protein has ...

While prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound structures, they do have distinct cellular regions (Figure 1). In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive ...
