Structural insights into the ability of nucleoplasmin to assemble and chaperone histone octamers for DNA deposition.

abstract：:Sexual conflict over parental investment can result in suboptimal reproductive output. A recent hypothesis suggests that equality in investment, and hence conflict resolution, may be reached via coordination of parental activities like alternating nest visits. However, how robust patterns of care within couples are ag...
