Compartmentalization is a ubiquitous building principle in cells, which permits segregation
of biological elements and reactions. The carboxysome is a specialized bacterial organelle …

The chemistry of highly evolved protein-based compartments has inspired the design of new
catalytically active materials that self-assemble from biological components. A frontier of this …

Hydrogenases are microbial metalloenzymes capable of catalyzing the reversible
interconversion between molecular hydrogen and protons with high efficiency, and have …

Bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) are self-assembling organelles composed entirely of
protein. Depending on the enzymes they encapsulate, BMCs function in either inorganic …

Carboxysomes are anabolic bacterial microcompartments that play an essential role in
carbon fixation in cyanobacteria and some chemoautotrophs. This self-assembling …

Background Cyanobacteria play a significant role in the global carbon cycle. In
Synechococcus elongatus, the carbon-fixing enzyme ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate …

The carboxysome is a versatile paradigm of prokaryotic organelles and is a proteinaceous
self-assembling microcompartment that plays essential roles in carbon fixation in all …

Carboxysomes are CO 2-fixing protein compartments present in all cyanobacteria and some
proteobacteria. These structures are attractive candidates for carbon assimilation …

The carboxysome is a protein-based organelle for carbon fixation in cyanobacteria,
keystone organisms in the global carbon cycle. It is composed of thousands of subunits …

Background The carboxysome is a bacterial microcompartment that consists of a polyhedral
protein shell filled with r ib u lose 1, 5-bis phosphate c arboxylase/o xygenase (RubisCO) …
