Construction of nanotubes from protein crystals

Researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) have succeeded in constructing protein nanotubes from tiny scaffolds made by cross-linking of engineered protein crystals. The achievement could accelerate the development of artificial enzymes, nano-sized carriers and delivery systems for a host of biomedical and biotechnological applications. An innovative way for assembly of proteins into well-ordered Read more about Construction of nanotubes from protein crystals[…]
