Long time lurker, first time poster... announcing our latest preprint on encapsulin protein cages!

We can now assemble them beautifully in vitro, without the ugly defects you get using acid/base or denaturants.
This lets us put any synthetic cargo into these cages.

This work is led by my better half, the superstar @taylorszyszka.bsky.social and is our first paper together! Many thanks to our supervisor @yuhenglau.bsky.social for incredible support and of course, from contributors Alex, Lachlan, Regi, Titus and collaborators Andrew and Claire from UTS.

How did we do this? A clean system of fusing a steric block to encapsulin protein cage monomer – prevents assembly. Take this in vitro, add *any* cargo to the reaction and cleave off the block. And voila! Assembled in vitro cages that are surprisingly better in every way.
