Virus-assisted loading of polymer nanocontainer [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002 We present a DNA-containing polymeric nanocontainer using the self-assembled superstructure of amphiphilic block copolymers in aqueous solutions. To demonstrate that DNA translocation is possible across a completely synthetic block copolymer membrane, we have used a phage transfection strategy as a DNA-transfer model system.

Engineering Compartmentalized Biomimetic Micro- and Nanocontainers [PDF]
ACS Nano, 2017 Compartmentalization of biological content and function is a key architectural feature in biology, where membrane bound micro- and nanocompartments are used for performing a host of highly specialized and tightly regulated biological functions. The benefit of compartmentalization as a design principle is behind its ubiquity in cells and has led to it ...

Biomimetic Hybrid Nanocontainers with Selective Permeability [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie, 2016 AbstractChemistry plays a crucial role in creating synthetic analogues of biomacromolecular structures. Of particular scientific and technological interest are biomimetic vesicles that are inspired by natural membrane compartments and organelles but avoid their drawbacks, such as membrane instability and limited control over cargo transport across the ...

Closed polymer containers based on phenylboronic esters of resorcinarenes
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2018 Novel polymer nanospheres (p(SRA-B)) were prepared by cross-linking a sulfonated resorcinarene (SRA) with phenylboronic acid. p(SRA-B) shows good stability in water and can be used as a nanocontainer for the pH- and glucose-controlled substrate release ...
