Article Synopsis
- Bacterial microcompartments are large structures made of protein shells that contain enzymes for efficient metabolism.
- The shells consist of many protein subunits and are generally based on a common bacterial microcompartment domain.
- This study reports six structures of shell proteins from choline-utilizing microcompartments, revealing shared electrostatic properties among different shell proteins.
