Histone H2a H2b H3 Dna Proteins Eukaryotes: H1 H4 

Text There are 5 histone proteins in Eukaryotes: H1, H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 

H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 form the histone core and about 200 BP of DNA are wrapped around the protein complex, forming the nucleosome
H1 seals off the DNA as it enters or leaves the nucleosome, adding extra stability to the structure
