Abstract excerpt
Popular RNA-guided DNA endonuclease Cas9 from Streptococcus pyogenes (SpCas9) recognizes the canonical 5'-NGG-3' protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) and triggers double-stranded DNA cleavage activity. Mutations in SpCas9 were demonstrated to expand the PAM readability and hold promise for therapeutic and genome editing applications. However, the energetics of the PAM recognition and its relation to the atomic...
