Fig. 5.From: Bacterial microcompartments: catalysis-enhancing metabolic modules for next generation metabolic and biomedical engineeringPossible applications of BMC in vitro assembly for nanomedicine. a High throughput testing of different combinations and densities of functional groups on a BMC. The structural proteins carrying various functional groups can be mixed together in different stoichiometries to generate many different versions of nanoparticles. b In vitro BMC assembly in a solution of therapeutic toxin can be used for the development of novel drug delivery systemsBack to article page
