Abstract

Many bacteria have primitive proteinaceous organelles that are known as bacterial microcompartments (BMCs). All BMCs share a common architecture, with a selectively permeable protein shell that encapsulates different metabolic enzymes. Although detailed structural information is available for the single components of the shell, how the
