The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Protein crystallization in vivo (2005, background): “For example, crystalline arrays of S-layer proteins provide added stability to the cell envelope of many prokaryotes [55], and the CcmK proteins form hexamers that are the building blocks for the polyhedral shell of bacterial microcompartments, such as the carboxysome [56].”
Adhesion and aggregation ability of probiotic strain Lactobacillus acidophilus M92 (2003, background): “The S-layer proteins form a crystalline layer around many bacterial species, amounting to 15–20% of the total cellular protein content, apparent molecular weights of 40–200 kDa (Pouwels et al. 1998; Sára and Sleytr 2000).”
Metal-directed, chemically-tunable assembly of one-, two- and three-dimensional crystalline protein arrays (2012, positive): “The 1-and 2D RIDC3 arrays described here resemble natural assemblies like microtubules 33 , helical viruses 34 and S-layers 35 in terms of their dimensions and structural uniformity.”
Drops and shells of liquid crystal (2011, background): “This interplay between topology and energy also determines the structure and functionality of other systems, including spherical bacterial surface layers [15, 16 ], siliceous skeletons of spherical radiolaria (aulosphaera) [17, 18], and volvox spherical algae [19].”
Cyanobacteria as Biocatalysts for Carbonate Mineralization (2012, neutral): “5 and 35 nm [95,96].”
