Abstract

(Figure Presented) Take your PIC: Biologically active polyion complex vesicles (PICsomes) with encapsulated myoglobin (Mb) can be prepared by the self-assembly of a pair of oppositely charged block ionomers with polyethylene glycol (PEG) segments (see picture; metMb: metmyoglobin). The loaded Mb maintains reversible oxygenation even in the presence of trypsin.
