Interferon carries out its cellular effects, including its antiviral effects, by inducing the synthesis of many new proteins, amongst which is the IFIT (ISG56) family of proteins. The first crystal structure of an IFIT, reported by Yang et al., revealed several functional properties of the protein that may help us to better understand the biological functions of these proteins.
