hfCas12Max utilizes a single crRNA, eliminating the need for a tracrRNA. The guide RNA is compact (44–50 nt), including a 17–23 nt target sequence complementary to the genomic locus of interest. When hfCas12Max is expressed intracellularly from mRNA, the nuclease associates with the crRNA to enable targeted DNA cleavage, generating staggered cuts downstream of the PAM site.
For guide design, target sequences should be selected adjacent to a 5'-TTN-3' PAM. Designed sequences can be generated using standard CRISPR guide design tools and synthesized with optional chemical modifications to support stability and editing performance in cellular workflows.
