The paper determines the Cryo-EM structure of a dodecameric double-ferritin-fold protein from an Asgard archaeon, revealing its unique structural features and implications for iron metabolism.

The paper identifies a conserved carotenoid-binding site in heliorhodopsins, revealing their role in light harvesting through exogenous xanthophyll recruitment due to inverted membrane topology.

The paper identifies and characterizes double ferritin-like proteins (DFLPs) that form homodimers, bind heme, and exhibit ferroxidase activity, with some targeted to encapsulin shells.

This study identifies a new family of small antirestriction proteins, sArdA, which show structural and functional diversity in interacting with restriction-modification systems.

The paper presents a high-throughput algorithm using AlphaFold to predict F-Type ATP synthase rotor ring stoichiometries from 8 to 27 protomers, validated with molecular dynamics simulations.
