Structure of human TFIIH, a large protein assembly that acts to help repair and read our genome. Shown in the foreground is the a rendering of the overall architecture, and in the background it interacts with DNA helices. The atomic structure of the SOS protein, a cell messaging molecule that uses a unique timing mechanism to regulate activation of a critical immune system pathway. Image - This illustration shows a repeated 2D patterning of a property related to electrical conductivity, known as the surface Fermi arc, in rhodium-silicon crystal samples.
