Abstract excerpt
Protein self-assembly is a common and essential biological phenomenon, and bacterial microcompartments present a promising model system to study this process. Bacterial microcompartments are large, protein-based organelles which natively carry out processes important for carbon fixation in cyanobacteria and the survival of enteric bacteria. These structures are increasingly popular with biological engineers due...
