Journal Article
Stupka, I., Biela, A. P., Piette, B., Kowalczyk, A., Majsterkiewicz, K., Borzęcka-Solarz, K., Naskalska, A., & Heddle, J. G. (2024). An artificial protein cage made from a 12-membered ring. Journal of Materials Chemistry B: Materials for biology and medicine, 12(2), 436-447. https://doi.org/10.1039/d3tb01659e

Artificial protein cages have great potential in diverse fields including as vaccines and drug delivery vehicles. TRAP-cage is an artificial protein cage notable for the way in which the interface between its ring-shaped building blocks can be modifi...

The microtubule nucleating factor MACERATOR tethers AUGMIN7 to microtubules and governs phragmoplast architecture. (2023)
Journal Article
Schmidt-Marcec, S., Parish, A., Smertenko, T., Hickey, M., Piette, B. M. A. G., & Smertenko, A. (2024). The microtubule nucleating factor MACERATOR tethers AUGMIN7 to microtubules and governs phragmoplast architecture. The Plant Cell, 36(4), 1072–1097. https://doi.org/10.1093/plcell/koad304

The plant cytokinetic microtubule array, called the phragmoplast, exhibits higher microtubule dynamics in its center (midzone) than at the periphery (distal zone). This behavior is known as the axial asymmetry. Despite being a major characteristic of...

Near-Miss Bi-Homogenous Symmetric Polyhedral Cages (2023)
Journal Article
Piette, B., & Lukács, Á. (2023). Near-Miss Bi-Homogenous Symmetric Polyhedral Cages. Symmetry, 15(9), Article 1804. https://doi.org/10.3390/sym15091804

Following the discovery of an artificial protein cage with a paradoxical geometry, we extend the concept of homogeneous symmetric congruent equivalent near-miss polyhedral cages, for which all the faces are equivalent, and define bi-homogeneous symme...

Near-Miss Symmetric Polyhedral Cages (2023)
Journal Article
Piette, B. M. A. G., & Lukács, Á. (2023). Near-Miss Symmetric Polyhedral Cages. Symmetry, 15(3), Article 717. https://doi.org/10.3390/sym15030717

Following the experimental discovery of several nearly symmetric protein cages, we define the concept of homogeneous symmetric congruent equivalent near-miss polyhedral cages made out of P-gons. We use group theory to parameterize the possible config... Read More about Near-Miss Symmetric Polyhedral Cages.
