Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the transfer of molecular substances, for example proteins or nucleic acids in cells, in the case of using DNA combined with a possible gene expression. A prokaryotic nucleic acid-binding protein is used for the transfer, which is preferably obtained from a thermostable organism. Where the substance to be transferred is a nucleic acid, the protein forms a reversible complex with the nucleic acid. The prokaryotic protein condenses and compacts the nucleic acids. Said nucleic acids can be taken up in the target cells after suitable incubation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for characterising and optionally separating molecular associates, especially particles having a size smaller than 300 nm. Partial units of the molecular associates are used as markers, whereby said units are marked with fluorescent dyes. The marked associates and aggregates are characterised by means of a FACS (fluorescence-activated cell sorter).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for packaging molecular substances in protein shells, comprising the following steps: binding a protein shell fragment, via a first region to a matrix; bringing the protein shell fragment bound to the matrix into contact with the molecular substance, in order to bind the molecular substance to a second region of the protein shell fragment; separating the protein shell fragment with the bonded molecular substance, or the part thereof which contains the bonded molecular substance, from the matrix and assembling the separated protein shell fragments, or the part thereof which contains the bonded molecular substance, with other protein shell fragments to form a protein shell, whereby the separation and assembly can be carried out in any order.

Abstract: The invention relates to transport systems for molecular substances, comprising a mosaic of recombinant partial units (individual components). The invention further relates to production of the molecular transport system and use thereof.
