Controlled self-assembly of proteins is being exploited in the emerging field of protein nanotechnology to create nanoscale structures. Simple protein subunits assembled into complex designs give rise to functional materials and devices.
Berkeley scientists have developed a quicker and more efficient method to alter the genes of mice with CRISPR-Cas9. The work benefited from input from Professor Jennifer Doudna.
