Abstract excerpt
The self-assembly of proteins into curved structures plays an important role in many cellular processes. One good example of this phenomenon is observed in the septum-forming protein (SepF), which forms polymerized structures with uniform curvatures. SepF is essential for regulating the thickness of the septum during bacteria cell division. In Bacillus subtilis, SepF polymerization involves two distinct...
