    Abstract: Protein structures 1 repeating regularly in one, two or three dimensions comprise protein protomers 2 which each comprise at least two monomers 5, 6 genetically fused together. The monomers 5, 6 are monomers of respective oligomer assemblies 3, 4 into which the monomers are assembled to assembly of the protein structure. The first oligomer assembly 3 has rotational symmetry axes including a set of rotational symmetry axes of order N, where N equals 2, 3, 4 or 6. The second oligomer assembly 4 has a rotational symmetry axis of the same order N as said set of rotational symmetry axes of said first oligomer assembly 3. Due to the symmetry of the oligomer assemblies 3, 4, the rotational symmetry axis axes of each second oligomer assembly 4 is aligned with one of said set of rotational symmetry axes of a first oligomer assembly 3 with N protomers being arranged symmetrically therearound. Thus, an N-fold fusion between the oligomer assemblies 3, 4 is produced and the arrangements of the rotational symmetry axes of the oligomer assemblies 3, 4 cause the protein structure to repeat regularly. The protein structure has many uses, for example to support molecular entities for x-ray crystallography or electron microscopy.

    Abstract: Mineral samples for use in analytical instruments are created by a system that greatly reduces the sample preparation time and facilitates automation. For example, in some implementations, rather than grinding to expose the interior of mineral particles in sample plug containing mineral particles in an epoxy compound, the sample plug is sliced with a saw, which more rapidly provides in many applications a sufficiently smooth surface on the exposed particle surfaces for observation. Rather than slowly mixing a slow curing epoxy to avoid introducing bubbles into the sample plug, some implementations use a fast settle fixative and a mechanical mixture that avoid bubbles.
