NURF complex

The NURF complex is a group of proteins in cells that plays a key role in regulating gene expression. It helps control which genes are turned on or off by altering the structure of DNA and the surrounding materials called chromatin. Essentially, NURF acts like a molecular switch, ensuring that genes are accessible when needed and compacted when not. This regulation is vital for processes like development and cellular response to the environment, making NURF important for maintaining healthy cell function and overall organismal health.
