Показать описание
The movie shows in real time the process of activation of the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing tool. Molecular simulations reveal that the activation occurs through a fascinating process by which the protein and the nucleic acids are "sensing", "regulating" and "locking" the catalytic HNH domain.

Read more about this mechanism in the original paper:

That’s amazing Dr. Palermo!! Very impressive!
What software did you use to generate the movie?
