Bio-Inspired Polymersome Nanoreactors [PDF]
CHIMIA, 2019 Abstract: Two key concepts in living organisms are that biochemical reactions are sequestered into reaction compartments such as cells and organelles, and that many of the complex biological reaction cascades involve transient activation of reactions in response to external triggers. Here we review our efforts to implement these concepts into
