...The finding that iron is mainly located in the encapsulin compartment suggests that this is a second commitment for the storage of iron and phosphorus and that it is activated under specific conditions, such as starvation during the vegetative state (20)....

...More recent, it has been suggested that encapsulins may act as the largest iron storage organelles in prokaryotes with a diameter of 24–32 nm and the capacity to accumulate up to 30,000 Fe atoms (20)....

...identified a new class of ferritin-like proteins that are selectively enclosed within the encapsulin shell, which is much larger than the classical ferritin and may present a solution to this contrast problem [63,64]....

...The resulting atomic coordinates were then used to generate the three quasi-equivalent subunits of an asymmetric unit by rigid-body fitting into the corresponding densities and propagated over the icosahedral shell, using Chimera (Pettersen et al, 2004)....

...Finally, the structure was refined using X-ray crystallographic procedures, applying constraints that compensate in part for the limited resolution (Adams et al, 2010)....

...Structure factors and Hendrickson–Lattman coefficients, describing phases, were calculated using the phenix.map_to_structure_factors program from PHENIX (Adams et al, 2010), and the atomic model was refined with phased maximum-likelihood target as implemented in phenix.refine (Afonine et al, 2005)....
