title: Double take on Piwi protein/piRNA complex structure.
abstract: Two recent studies by the Carlomagno/Pillai labs (Simon et al., 2011) and the Patel group (Tian et al., 2011) report the structures of complexes of Piwi PAZ domains with piRNA, utilizing two major methods in structural biology, NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography, and derive very similar structures with similar resolution.
