Engineering the Self-Assembly of Bacterial Microcompartment Shell Proteins via Charged Mutations.

Abstract excerpt

Protein self-assembly is a fundamental biological process of great importance for the design and synthesis of biomaterials. Developing the ability to precisely manipulate protein assembly would greatly expand both our understanding of the process and our biotechnological capabilities. Within bacteria, proteins that self-organize to form bacterial microcompartments (MCPs) offer an excellent model system for...
