  • They can contribute to refine our present view of the relationship between AS and protein disorder and, more importantly, they reveal how AS may modify structural dynamic couplings in proteins. (irbbarcelona.org)
  • One critical step involves recruitment of the pre-assembled U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP to Complex A, which engages 5′ and 3′ splice sites, to form the pre-catalytic Complex B. Complex B then undergoes profound structural and conformational changes that lead to catalytic activation and conversion to Complex B act , which initiates catalysis and nucleates the formation of Complex C, which completes the splicing reaction [ 3 , 4 ].
