Birth is a tough process, particularly for crystals. Before a crystalline structure forms, atoms or molecules mingle in a solution, making and breaking attachments. After enough particles gather in a ...

As is well known, ferritin, and its protein moiety, apoferritin, can be readily crystallized in aqueous solutions of cadmium sulphate to yield isotropic (cubic) crystals, most commonly octahedra 1.

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, an international team of researchers leveraged the human light chain apoferritin protomer-derived MULTI-specific, multi-Affinity antibody ...
