Mimicking shapes found in bacteria – Northwestern Now – Northwestern University NewsCenter
For first time, researchers control design of bacterial microcompartments
Bad bacteria can survive in extremely hostile environments including inside the highly acidic human stomach thanks to their ability to sequester toxins into tiny compartments.
In a new study, Northwestern University researchers have, for the first time, theoretically and experimentally controlled protein assembly to build these microcompartments into different shapes and sizes, including long tubes and polyhedra.
