Spliceostatin is a powerful tool for dissecting the dynamics of spliceosomes in cells because it can ‘freeze’ the macromolecular machine in its natural state. By capturing the 3D structure of these spliceosomes, the researchers could visualise and understand spliceostatin’s effects on the splicing process in unprecedented detail.
