Encapsulation in a Bacterial Microcompartment Shell Improves Thermal Stability of a Glycolytic Enzyme

Key Points

• This research aims to examine how encapsulation in bacterial microcompartment shells affects the thermal stability of the glycolytic enzyme TPI.
• Utilized variable loading of bacterial microcompartment (BMC) shells for targeted encapsulation of TPI.
• Conducted thermal stability assessments of encapsulated versus free TPI.
• Encapsulated TPI showed enhanced thermal stability up to 62 °C compared to free TPI.
