I still have a box of Sydney Brenner’s My Life in Science to give away. So, in an effort to reduce the pile, can you tell me what this is?
For a tie-breaker, who published it?

DNA helicase?
It’s Kiyoshi Nagai’s structure of a large part of the spliceosome, U1 snRNP to be more precise.
Like this:

I remembered the long stringy orange bit from the Nature paper – mapped using SeMet labelling if I remember correctly.
Well done Stephen, spot on.
The article it’s lifted from is one of our F1000 Biology Reports, Structure of spliceosomal ribonucleoproteins by Daniel Pomeranz Krummel, Kiyoshi Nagai and Chris Oubridge.
Shall I post you the prize or give it to you next time I see you? 🙂
