Nucleoprotein

A nucleoprotein is any protein that is structurally associated with nucleic acid^[1] (either DNA or RNA).

Examples

The prototypical example is any of the histone class of proteins, which are identifiable on strands of chromatin. Telomerase, a RNP (RNA/protein complex), and Protamines are also nucleoproteins.
