Abstract

Proteins able to form “donut shaped” assemblies have been expressed in Escherichia coli and used for reversible in vitro assembly of cylindrical yoctowells (yoctolitre: 1 yL = 10−24 L). Their assembly and disassembly were studied spectroscopically and fibres ranging from molecular to multibundle structures have been assembled.
