A team led by Prof. Zhang Kaiming from the University of Science and Technology (USTC) solved six conformations in the second-step self-splicing of Tetrahymena ribozyme using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), revealing the mechanism of group 1 introns coordinating self-splicing reactions. Their work was published in Nature Communications.
