Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to the preparation of nanostructures by the encapsulation of a charged compound with individual self-assembled unit nano structures.
Claims28
A peptide segment comprising a first domain, a second domain and a third domain, wherein:
- (a) the first domain comprises a moiety that has binding affinity for a charged compound, and is positioned at a first terminus of the second domain;
- (b) the second domain comprises an amino acid sequence with a coiled-coil structure and is positioned between the first domain and the third domain;
- and
- (c) the third domain comprises a water soluble polymer and is positioned at a second terminus of the second domain,
- wherein a plurality of peptide segments have the ability to self assemble to form a capsomer.
