This peptide is histone H4 amino acids 1 to 21, acetylated at Lys-5 and at the N-terminus. This peptide also contains a C-terminal GG linker, followed by a biotinylated lysine. The acetylation of histone H4 causes structural changes that play a crucial role in amplifying the binding of transcription factors to specific recognition sites within the nucleosome.
