The 'Impossible' Nanocage of 11-Sided Protein Rings (IMAGE)
Caption
The 'impossible' sphere, i.e. a molecular nanocage of 24 protein rings, each of which has an 11-sided structure. The rings are connected by bonds with the participation of gold atoms, here marked in yellow. Depending on their position in the structure, not all gold atoms have to be used to attach adjacent proteins (an unused gold atom is marked in red). (Source: UJ, IFJ PAN)
