Abstract
Engineered protein cages are of great interest considering their diverse applications in delivery and catalysis. Here, we describe macrocycle-triggered icosahedral cage assembly of a designed β-propeller. Cage assembly was evidenced by small-angle X-ray scattering and X-ray crystallography.
期刊介绍:
ACS Macro Letters publishes research in all areas of contemporary soft matter science in which macromolecules play a key role, including nanotechnology, self-assembly, supramolecular chemistry, biomaterials, energy generation and storage, and renewable/sustainable materials. Submissions to ACS Macro Letters should justify clearly the rapid disclosure of the key elements of the study. The scope of the journal includes high-impact research of broad interest in all areas of polymer science and engineering, including cross-disciplinary research that interfaces with polymer science.
With the launch of ACS Macro Letters, all Communications that were formerly published in Macromolecules and Biomacromolecules will be published as Letters in ACS Macro Letters.
