Controlling the Self‐Assembly of a Filamentous Hyperthermophilic Chaperone by an Engineered Capping Protein

TERMinal filaments: Design of repeatable protein nanostructures is a limiting factor in the use of proteins as advanced materials templates. A capping protein of a new protein filament, γ PFD (see image), and a thermophilic extension resistant mutant (TERM) are constructed, control of overall length is demonstrated, and length distributions are quantitatively predicted.
