A wooden house frame consists of many different lumber pieces, but because of the
regularity of these building blocks, the structure can be designed using straightforward …

The self-assembly of proteins into highly ordered nanoscale architectures is a hallmark of
biological systems. The sophisticated functions of these molecular machines have inspired …

Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are widely used to construct nanometre-scale structures with
ever increasing complexity,,,,,,,,,,,,,, with possible application in fields such as structural …

The fabrication of nanoscale devices requires architectural templates on which to position
functional molecules in complex arrangements. Protein scaffolds are particularly promising …

Ordered two-dimensional arrays such as S-layers, and designed analogues,–have intrigued
bioengineers,, but with the exception of a single lattice formed with flexible linkers, they are …

The self-association of proteins into symmetric complexes is ubiquitous in all kingdoms of
life,,,,,. Symmetric complexes possess unique geometric and functional properties, but their …

Many proteins exist naturally as symmetrical homooligomers or homopolymers. The
emergent structural and functional properties of such protein assemblies have inspired …

Unlike random heteropolymers, natural proteins fold into unique ordered structures.
Understanding how these are encoded in amino-acid sequences is complicated by …

Although various artificial protein nanoarchitectures have been constructed, controlling the
transformation between different protein assemblies has largely been unexplored. Here, we …
