Scientific breakthroughs are often only made possible by innovative technological developments. This is certainly true in structural biology, where researchers seek to gain insight into biological processes by determining the structure of macromolecules at the atomic level, for instance by X-ray crystallography or cryo-electron microscopy.

Scientists from the Genomic Integrity and Structural Biology Group led by Rafael Fernández-Leiro at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) have discovered how certain proteins ensure the repair of errors introduced into the DNA during its replication. Using cryo-electron microscopy, they made the MutS protein, also known as the guardian of our genome, visible. That enabled them to describe how this single protein is able to coordinate the essential DNA repair process from beginning to end. ....
