  Hi Madster49,
  
  The proteins that we make and test are new ones that we design ourselves, they are not found anywhere in nature. We use them to build really tiny (100 nm) hollow spheres. We are making them into two different medicines at the moment. One we are attaching drugs to the inside to treat cancer. The other is attaching small parts of a virus to make a vaccine.
