    Nucleosome

    A nucleosome is a basic unit of DNA, consisting of a segment of DNA wound in sequence around eight histone protein cores. This structure is often compared to thread wrapped around a spool. Explore the 3D structure of Nucleosome 3C1B to learn more about DNA coiling.

  • CRISPR-Cas9 Bound to Guide RNA and Target DNA

    This is a 3D print of CRISPR Ca9 is created in full-color sandstone. The model depicts CRISPR (purple) bound to its guide RNA (red) while editing its Target DNA (yellow and green). The subtle color variations in the CRISPR are associated with its bFactor, or atomic temperature. The darker the color, the less the protein moves with a cooler atomic temperature.
