Almost 25 years since we knew this happened….so cool to finally visualize the process in atomic detail!

Morphed transition between two cryo-EM structures of Rad24-RFC–DNA with a closed or 27-Å open 9-1-1 clamp. Open new avenues to understand DNA damage response (PDB codes: 7STB and 7ST9) #sciart #molecularart #scivis #UCSFChimeraX
