Conformational Dynamics and Cleavage Sites of Cas12a Are Modulated by Complementarity between crRNA and DNA

Summary: Cas12a is an RNA-guided endonuclease, which displays great potentials and several advantages over the well-known Cas9 in genome editing and engineering. Here, we established a quantitative kinetic scheme to describe the conformational dynamics of Cas12a/crRNA/dsDNA ternary complexes. The hi...
