SIRT6 in complex with nucleosome (IMAGE)
Caption
New images of the SIRT6 sirtuin enzyme—which regulates aging and other metabolic processes—help explain how it is able to access genetic material within the cell. This cryo-electron microscopy map shows the enzyme in complex with the nucleosome, a tightly packed complex of DNA and proteins called histones.
