Protein Nanotubes: Purification and Characterization of Protein Nanotubes Assembled from a Single Bacterial Microcompartment Shell Subunit (Adv. Mater. Interfaces 1/2016)
Source abstract
Abstract
In article number 1500295, C. A. Kerfeld and co-workers report on self-assembled protein nanotubes composed of a hexameric bacterial microcompartment (BMC) shell protein, which can be produced in and purified from Escherichia coli. Disassembly and re-assembly of the nanotubes can also be achieved in vitro. BMC-based nanotubes offer a new biomaterial and spatial architecture that may be genetically or chemically modified and used as a molecular scaffold in vivo or in vitro.
