Deskripsi

CRISPR-Cas9 has enabled an unprecedented ability to manipulate the genome yet it is still poorly understood how target recognition functions at a molecular level. Here the authors use single-molecule FRET to probe Cas9-target interaction and identify distinct search and proofreading states.
