Description
In T. Maritima, 60 encapsulin monomers assemble to form a spherical capsid with a diameter of 230-240 ?? [1]. In this organism, an extension sequence targets ferritin-like proteins into the capsid [1]. The extension sequence could potentially be used to target other proteins into the capsid.

Notes
Sequence was PCR'd from T. Maritima. An additional tga stop site was added.
