Histones
(To the tune of "Meet the Flintstones")
Copyright © 2010 Kevin Ahern
I am very pleased that Mr. David Simmons has made a professional recording of this song (complete song downloadable HERE) and others can be downloaded HERE. You will need to unzip the file to release the MP3. I am providing all songs for free download, but hope you will support this effort by purchasing my Metabolic Melody albums or calendar at the URLs at the bottom of the lyrics to this song.

Histones, tiny histones
Wrap up eukaryotic DNA

Using lysine side chains
They arrange a chromatin array

With them - DNAs of seven feet
Fit in - side the nucleus so sweet

When you use the histones
You have to deal with condensation
And its ablation
Inside your chromosomes

Thanks to Tom Ellen for the inspiration for this song
