Comment on Design of a hyperstable 60-subunit protein icosahedronparent

Comments

Enzymes and substrates could be grouped together so that they work more efficiently (don't have to bump around looking for each other in a large space).

Synthetic machinery that we design could be made functional inside the protein complex so as not to disturb background cellular processes.

Receptors for specific cell types could be attached to the outside so that the complex is taken up and a payload is delivered.
