Summary
A correction to Figure 1 in this article addresses an incorrect depiction of histone 3's tail orientation and the residue K79. The revised figure clarifies molecular structure for researchers.
Area of Science:
- Biochemistry
- Molecular Biology
- Epigenetics
Context:
- Histone modifications are crucial for gene regulation.
- Histone 3 (H3) plays a central role in chromatin structure.
- Accurate representation of molecular structures is vital for scientific understanding.
Purpose:
- To correct a factual error in a published scientific figure.
- To provide an accurate visual representation of histone 3.
- To ensure clarity and precision in scientific communication.
Summary:
- A specific part (Figure 1c) of a previous publication contained an error regarding the orientation of the histone 3 tail.
- The amino acid residue K79 was incorrectly shown within the histone 3 tail region.
- A corrected figure is provided to accurately illustrate the histone 3 molecule's structure.
Impact:
- Ensures the integrity of scientific data and research findings.
- Facilitates accurate interpretation of histone 3 structure and function.
- Supports ongoing research in epigenetics and chromatin biology by providing correct structural information.

01:37Epigenetic Regulation
3.9K
Epigenetic changes alter the physical structure of the DNA without changing the genetic sequence and often regulate whether genes are turned on or off. This regulation ensures that each cell produces only proteins necessary for its function. For example, proteins that promote bone growth are not produced in muscle cells. Epigenetic mechanisms play an essential role in healthy development. Conversely, precisely regulated epigenetic mechanisms are disrupted in diseases like cancer.

02:20Milgram's Obedience to Authority
7.4K
Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

01:15Distance Corrections

To achieve precise distance measurements, especially in surveying and construction, certain corrections must be applied to account for potential sources of error like the standardization errors, temperature variations, and slope adjustments.Standardization error emerges when measurement equipment undergoes changes, such as wear, repairs, or weather impacts. To address this, surveyors compare the equipment’s readings to a standard. This process identifies any deviation that might lead to...

01:20Power Factor Correction
538
The power transmission to a factory involves the transfer of apparent power, a combination of active and reactive power. The power factor measures how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output. The ratio of the real power (KW) that does the work to the apparent power (KVA) supplied to the circuit.

02:18Intrinsically Disordered Proteins
19.4K
Intrinsically disordered proteins are a group of proteins that do not fold into specific three-dimensional structures. Their structural flexibility allows them to complement ordered proteins to perform functions that are inaccessible to rigid structures. They are more common in eukaryotes than prokaryotes and may either be exclusively intrinsically disordered or hybrid proteins, consisting of a mix of ordered and disordered regions. The absence of a rigid structure in these proteins can be...
