    Megabodies, built by grafting nanobodies onto larger protein scaffolds, help alleviate problems of particle size and preferential orientation at the water–air interfaces during cryo-EM based structure determination experiments and are shown to be generalizable to soluble and membrane-bound proteins.

Expanding the CRISPR Toolbox

Expanding the CRISPR Toolbox

The CRISPR-Cas9 system is best known for its ability to knock out or replace specific genes, via targeted cleavage of the genome. But scientists are developing many more applications, typically by using an inactive Cas9 to target other enzymes to specific genomic sites. From transcriptional regulation to base editing, these developments are extending the range of biological questions that can be probed with CRISPR/Cas9.
