This study identifies that assembly-pathway regulation, not just major components, dictates pH-responsive actuation in R-bodies by forming the ordered lamellar architecture required for function.

This study defines the assembly pathway of CipB, showing that a 24-mer precursor forms and packs into a cubic lattice, with N-terminal flexibility enabling crystallization.

The paper develops a deformation gradient tensor model to describe the roll-spiral transformation in protein refractile bodies, linking macroscopic morphology with microscopic lattice deformation.

This study uses cell-free protein crystallization to determine atomic structures of saccharides bound to galectin-10, revealing binding modes not accessible by conventional methods.

This paper designs an artificial peroxidase using histidine residues inside a ferritin cage, showing peroxidase-mimetic activity through structural and simulation analyses.

This paper develops a cell-free protein crystallization method to determine the structure of an intrinsically disordered protein and identifies key residues stabilizing its helical conformation.
