Adjective
  1. 1
    Prior to the formation of nucleosomes; relating to prenucleosomes not-comparable

    "Since the three histone-fold domain amino acids are located at the surface of the α-helix 2 domain that is responsible for the formation of H3-H4 dimers and accessible in prenucleosomal complexes, it has been suggested that the specificity associated with these amino acid positions derives from interactions with different assembly or post-translational-modification machineries."
