Mechanistic Decoupling of the cis - and trans -Cleavage Activities of Cas12a via Phosphorothioate-Induced Kinetic Trapping

Abstract CRISPR-Cas12a is widely utilized for genome engineering and nucleic acid diagnostics, being distinguished by its indiscriminate single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) trans-cleavage activity triggered by its specific cis-target recognition. However, the precise kinetic coordination...
