The paper identifies a conserved carotenoid-binding site in heliorhodopsins, revealing their role in light harvesting through exogenous xanthophyll recruitment due to inverted membrane topology.

The paper identifies and characterizes double ferritin-like proteins (DFLPs) that form homodimers, bind heme, and exhibit ferroxidase activity, with some targeted to encapsulin shells.

The paper presents a high-throughput algorithm using AlphaFold to predict F-Type ATP synthase rotor ring stoichiometries from 8 to 27 protomers, validated with molecular dynamics simulations.

The paper tests ProteinMPNN's ability to reengineer a flavin-binding fluorescent protein, showing it can generate variants with similar properties to the original.
