Biochemistry in Bacterioferritin

Suttisansanee, Uthaiwan (University of Waterloo, 2006)

Bacterioferritin, an iron storage protein having a 24-subunit quaternary structure, was used as a model for the study of host-guest interactions and guest encapsulation, making use of its spherical cage-like structure. ...
Hydrophobic Engineering of a Bacterial Nanodimensional Capsule Protein

BEN KRAYEM, OMAIMA RAMADAN (University of Waterloo, 2017-07-07)

Recently, numerous protein-based nanomedicine platforms have been intensively explored. These systems are usually composed of self-assembling proteins that form controllable systems with different shapes and types. A ...
Protein Engineering of Bacterioferritin: Applications to Bionanotechnology

van der Ven, Anton (University of Waterloo, 2014-09-24)

Biological protein assemblies are the products of evolutionary necessity that have arisen to protect the cell, improve reaction rates, and/or compartmentalize biological systems. Belonging to this category of sel-assembling ...
