McrBC-1

•McrBC — a complex bacterial protein which helps prevent viral infections in a bacterial cell and functions as a molecular scissor.
•This is the first report of the high-resolution structure from India determined using electron cryomicroscopy, commonly known as cryo-EM.
•The pathbreaking structure of the McrBC was published last month in two prestigious, peer-reviewed scientific journals — Nature Communications and Nucleic Acids Research  and is said to be a major step towards understanding the working of the molecular scissors.
