Integrated Self-Assembly of the Mms6 Magnetosome Protein to Form an Iron-Responsive Structure

Integrated Self-Assembly of the Mms6 Magnetosome Protein to Form an Iron-Responsive Structure

A common feature of biomineralization proteins is their self-assembly to produce a surface consistent in size with the inorganic crystals that they produce. Mms6, a small protein of 60 amino acids from Magnetospirillum magneticum strain AMB-1 that promotes the in vitro growth of superparamagnetic ma...
