One approach to designing de novo proteinaceous assemblies and materials is to develop simple, standardised building blocks and then to combine these symmetrically to construct more-complex higher-order structures. This has been done extens...

Early-branching anaerobic fungi are critical for hydrolyzing untreated lignocellulose in the digestive tracts of large herbivorous animals. While these fungi were discovered more than 40 years ago, they remain understudied and underexploite...
