Awesome updated work by my talented postdoc @isabel_stroh@TexasScience showing Cas12a with the non-target and target strand in the active site! R-loop forms largely in solution. The lid helix appears to reset after each cleavage event. https://t.co/gT5H3hqQJW
My first story from the @davidwtaylorjr lab is online! I’m looking forward to sharing this research next week alongside @jpkbravo @crispr2023 https://t.co/6IqeP7BM8D
I 'm happy to share my new work with Cas12a using kinetics-guided cryoEM to observe R-loop formation and DNA cleavage! Major thanks to @davidwtaylorjr for supporting my first dive into the world of structural biology! 1/n https://t.co/VpJQiCoNcI
This was a great way to build off of our previous kinetic characterization and help better understand the distinct specificity profiles seen for Cas12a by @ItsOKIDoScience@IlyaFinkelstein... How does Cas12a compare to Cas9? It seems to have a more "hands-off" approach... 2/n
