AB  - The  nucleus  is  often  represented  as  a  relatively  empty  structure,  containing  only  deoxyribonucleic  acid  (DNA)  being  replicated  and  transcribed  along  with  a  few  accessory  molecules  to  help  in  the  process.  To  the  contrary,  the  nucleus  is  actually  a  highly  organized,  membrane-bound  structure  that  is  literally  filled  with  proteins,  nucleotides,  carbohydrates,  and  lipids  with  multiple  functions.  Various  proteins  are  involved,  along  with  the  nuclear  membrane,  in  the  organization  of  chromosomes,  which  also  helps  to  regulate  the  processes  of  DNA  replication  and  transcription,  and,  subsequently,  protein  synthesis.  Other  proteins  directly  influence  the  expression  of  genes  via  direct  interactions  with  specific  nucleotide  sequences.  Post-translational  modifications  affect  both  protein  function  and  direct  particular  proteins  to  intracellular  and/or  extracellular  destinations.
