And now the peer-reviewed version is online!
New preprint from @YuanHe_NWU lab! Using cryo-EM and smFRET, we visualize two early steps in the assembly of the Pol III transcription initiation complex on the 5S rRNA promoter.

Glad to present the second part of my thesis project done with @YuanHe_NWU! Using #CryoEM, we visualized how DNA-PKcs adopt different intermediate states during NHEJ #DNArepair and how a scaffolding factor, PAXX, stabilizes the complexes. Please check

Three transitional states in NHEJ reveal distinct DNA-PKcs dimeric form and a likely conserved mechanism of PIKK family kinases.

A thread on understanding the importance of 'complementary colors' in science figures 🎨👇🏼 (tl;dr, it will enhance color harmony, make your data 'pop', highlight antagonistic reactions, and keep your images color-blind accessible)
