Nsb1 Molecules

Caption

The last piece of the MRN puzzle falls into place: Nsb1 molecules extend from the DNA repair machine like two flexible arms, as revealed by recent research at Berkeley Lab's Advanced Light Source. In this illustration, the MRN complex bridges a DNA double-strand break where the green and blue DNA sections meet.
