Structure of anti-CRISPR Protein Bound to Cas9 (IMAGE)
Caption
The anti-CRISPR protein (red on right) mimics DNA, binding in the site where the cutting enzyme Cas9 typically grips the target DNA (left) before it cuts. But the anti-CRISPR protein doesn't let go, essentially killing Cas9's gene editing ability.
