The cage‐like structure of encapsulins: a) Representation of an encapsulin nanocage made up by 12 pentamers of identical protein subunits (a pentamer is depicted in yellow). The encapsulin structure presented here is from T. maritima 2 (PDB: 3DKT) as the crystal structure for B. linens encapsulin is not yet solved. b) Image of recombinant B. linens encapsulin particles before any modification, obtained with transmission electron microscopy.
