What is it?
•The shuttling of products from one enzymatic reaction directly to a second with minimal diffusion.
Rationale: Why Enzyme Channeling?

Microcompartments
So what are Microcompartments?
•Microcompartments are small capsules formed by proteins
•Some have the ability to self assemble
•Contains pores
•Occurs naturally in some species of bacteria
•Channeling Unfavourable reactions (Rubisco in Blue Green)
•Toxic / Highly Reactive Intermediates (T.maritima)
