How to flawlessly assemble molecular scissors with 150 pieces
21. 06. 2021
In the new research, a team of scientists led by David Staněk (Institute of Molecular Genetics of the CAS) described a protein responsible for a correct assembly, and thus, the function of the so-called splicing complex, one of the largest molecular complexes in human cells composed of 150 different components. Their results were published a few days ago by Nature Communications journal.
