A cage-like protein (gray) called ferritin was engineered to have metal hubs (blue) on its surface.

Modular Construction - on a Molecular Scale

Predictable assembly of protein building blocks result in a new class of porous materials, with potential uses ranging from efficient fuel storage to practical carbon capture and conversion.

Researchers discovered how green fluorescent proteins (center) react with water (shown around the edges of the protein).

New Insight on a Familiar Glow

A new approach to investigating green fluorescent protein provides a vital tool for unraveling molecular-level details of processes important in biology and light harvesting for energy use.
