Caged to submission : The zinc‐ion‐directed assembly of tetrahedral protein cages (Zn 30 :CFMC‐1 12 ) in a rhombohedral crystal lattice is presented. The histidine side chains and exposed hydrophobic groups lining up the cavities of these cages enabled a flexible c ‐type heme peptide fragment (a microperoxidase) to be immobilized within and its crystal structure to be determined at 1.9 Å resolution.
