Buffer and salt dependent reassembly pathways of Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

Protein cages that adopt multiple assembly states provide tractable systems for probing the mechanisms that govern icosahedral shell formation. The Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin shell protein assembles into either a T = 1 shell (60 subunits) or a T = 3 shell (180 subunits), making it an ideal model to investigate how s...
