Protective Thermostable Protein Exoshell Boosts Recombinant Protein Yield 100-Fold

Scientists in Singapore have developed a bacterial protein nanoparticle that correctly folds recombinant proteins, increases functional expression yields up to 100-fold, and shields the internalized proteins from damage by heat, chemicals, and proteolysis. Scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS), and the Nanyang Technological University, who developed the thermostable exoshell (tES), hope that the technology could help to address some of the problems with recombin
