Merged summary

TL;DR - AlphaFold3-predicted molecular contacts in a CRISPR genome-editing complex guided changes that improved the enzyme’s selectivity for target DNA, potentially enabling more precise editing.

  • AlphaFold3 modeled interactions between the editing enzyme and DNA.
  • The predicted contacts were used to improve target-sequence specificity.
  • Greater selectivity could help reduce unintended DNA editing.
  • The provided summary does not report quantitative results or experimental details.
