Cryo-EM structure of a thermophilic encapsulin offers clues to its functions

Wiryaman & Toor [IUCrJ (2021). 8, 342–350] report the cryo-EM structure of a Thermotoga maritima encapsulin, a nanocompartment that encapsulates a ferritin-like protein cargo. The 2 Å resolution structure offers insights into the active role of this thermostable encapsulin in regulating iron hom...
