the claim

Histone acetylation is believed to relax chromatin to make the DNA more accessible for recognition and binding by the transcriptional machinery.

Is it true that histone acetylation is believed to relax chromatin to make the DNA more accessible for recognition and binding by the transcriptional machinery?

Yes. Histone acetylation neutralizes the positive charge on histone tails, reducing their affinity for negatively charged DNA and resulting in a relaxed chromatin structure that permits transcriptional machinery access.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 2 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The claim is specific, well-established in molecular biology, and directly supported by multiple retrieved studies showing that histone acetylation correlates with chromatin relaxation and increased DNA accessibility for transcription.
