Description
CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing complex, molecular structure. Two representations are shown here, a ribbon structure (left) and a surface representation (right). The CRISPR-Cas9 protein (orange) is used in genome engineering to cut DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). It uses a guide RNA (ribonucleic acid) sequence (red) to cut DNA (not shown) at a complementary cleavage site. These structures are from Campylobacter jejuni bacteria, with CRISPR-Cas mechanisms used in gene editing.
