«Ferritin, a
protein - coated iron storage molecule, is normally found throughout the mouse and
human body, but
in our experiments, we modified it, placing the ferritin particles
in different positions to see if we could improve our results,» says co-first author Sarah Stanley, a senior research associate
in Friedman's lab.
In all, scientists estimate that the human body contains about 100,000 different proteins, each the result of millions of years of evolutionary shuffling, culminating in a precise lineup of pleats, coils, and furrows required to carry out a specific job in the cel
