160 million Histone molecules required to wrap roughly 60,000 base pairs of DNA.
It usually takes place in the species Trichomonas vaginalis.
Histone protein is important in human DNA.
Without it the DNA present in the Chromosomes would be very long which could be more than 10 million to 1 human DNA.

"Histone molecules are protein like structures which warp around the base pair of DNA.
They form one of the 3 layers around DNA. 8 molecules of histone wrap 146 base pairs of DNA.
Therefore, in order to calculate the histone molecules wrapping 60000 pairs do the following:
60000/146 X 8 is equal to approximately 3200 molecules.
