Functionalisation of polyhydroxybutyrate for diagnostic uses
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a biodegradable and biocompatible biopolyester, naturally produced and self-assembled as spherical inclusions inside bacteria. These PHB particles contain a hydrophobic PHB core covalently coated with PHB synthase (PhaC), which serves as an anchoring linker for foreign proteins of interest.
