Abstract
Branch point selection is required for pre-mRNA splicing, and its mis-regulation is associated with many diseases. Two structural studies provide insights into the dynamics of active site formation and the spliceosomal proteins that may contribute to activation of the correct branch point in eukaryotic introns.
期刊介绍：
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is a comprehensive platform that combines structural and molecular research. Our journal focuses on exploring the functional and mechanistic aspects of biological processes, emphasizing how molecular components collaborate to achieve a particular function. While structural data can shed light on these insights, our publication does not require them as a prerequisite.
