Fig. 1

The crystal structure of the Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 poised to cleave DNA (PDB accession code 5F9R)21 with the HNH and RuvC nuclease domains highlighted in green and blue, respectively. The inset shows the three regions of the HNH domain targeted for computational mutagenesis and the conceptual approach is shown schematically.
