S-layers at second glance? altiarchaeal grappling hooks (hami) resemble archaeal s-layer proteins in structure and sequence

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Christine Moissl-Eichinger from the University of Freiburg, Germany have published the paper: S-layers at second glance? Altiarchaeal grappling hooks (hami) resemble archaeal S-layer proteins in structure and sequence, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: Due to its barbed-wire-like structure and in particular its distal nano-hook, the hamus is considered an exploitable biomaterial and thus a tool for nanobiotechnology (Moissl-Eichinger et_al, 2012), for which the authors provide the basis in this communication.
• how: In this study a combination of -omic techniques with electron microscopy was applied to . . .
