Largest protein yet discovered builds algal toxins The findings could enhance monitoring efforts for harmful algal blooms, and unlock potential for new medicines or materials.
Researchers found the protein, which they named PKZILLA-1 , while studying how a type of algae called Prymnesium parvum makes its toxin.
PKZILLA-1 protein tallied a record-breaking mass of 4.7 megadaltons.
The previous record-holder, Titin , can be up to 90 -times larger than a typical protein.
Finding the genes behind the prymnesin toxin could allow for more cost effective monitoring for golden algae blooms.
