Aggregates of proteins in cells mediate cell interactions and organize the local environment to promote specific cellular functions including synthesizing molecules. I will discuss advances in designing aggregates that mimic cellular protein aggregates by modifying protein interactions and/or by using synthetic molecules to organize enzymatic proteins in non-biological environments. The assembled membranes are capable of making useful chemicals and breaking down toxins.
