Controlled formation of magnetite crystal by partial oxidation of ferrous hydroxide in the presence of recombinant magnetotactic bacterial protein Mms6.

TLDR
Protein quantification analysis of Mms6 in the synthesised particles indicated tight association of this protein onto the crystal, suggesting that the protein acts as a template for the nucleus formation and/or acts as an growth regulator by recognising crystal faces.

The Iron Oxides

TL;DR: The food-quality iron oxides are primarily distinguished from technical grades by their comparatively low levels of contamination by other metals; this is achieved by the selection and control of the source of the iron or by the extent of chemical purification during the manufacturing process as discussed by the authors.

Ultra-large-scale syntheses of monodisperse nanocrystals.

TL;DR: This work is able to synthesize as much as 40 g of monodisperse nanocrystals in a single reaction, without a size-sorting process, and the particle size could be controlled simply by varying the experimental conditions.

Solubilization and Purification of Enzymatically Active Glutathione S-Transferase (pGEX) Fusion Proteins

TL;DR: This work has adapted a protocol, previously used to solubilize actin, for the purification of otherwise insoluble GST fusion proteins, and demonstrates that saturation of glutathione agarose is dependent on fusion protein molecular weight.
