Beyond Steel Tanks

Codon

Credit: Universität Würzburg Archives His key insight hinged upon the fact that living cells are essentially bags of liquid filled with enzymes, or proteins that speed up chemical reactions. Water accounts for 70 percent of a bacterium by mass; the other 30 percent includes everything else: proteins, RNA, DNA, lipids, and so on.

The researchers first compared the editing efficiency of different versions of IscB when coupled with 'ωRNA,' which guides the enzyme to the right spot on the DNA. A particular variant, named IscB*-ωRNA*, had the highest editing efficiency across multiple different sites in the genome. Read more in Nature Methods.
