Illustration showing a Cas13 (CRISPR associated protein) complexed to both target RNA (ribonucleic acid, orange strand) and guide RNA (green and blue). The Cas13 protein uses the guide RNA to find target RNA. When the guide RNA binds to the target RNA, Cas13's cutting mechanism becomes activated. This cutting mechanism (top centre) allows it to cut nearby RNA (yellow) into smaller strands. | |
