Self-assembly of protein nano-structure is an essential and ubiquitous phenomenon which plays a role in a wide range of biological processes. In this work, we have re-engineered the E. coli Bacterioferritin (EcBfr), which is a protein cage of nano dimensionality, to self-assemble into a more stable...
