Gold nanoparticles were coated with a short peptide to promote intracellular delivery of membrane-impermeable proteins. Through microscopy and enzyme assays, we demonstrated the particles were able to transport functional enzymes into a variety of cell lines. Significantly, the transported proteins were able to escape from endosomes. Moreover, these particles showed no apparent cytotoxicity.
金纳米颗粒被一层短肽包裹,以促进细胞膜不可渗透蛋白的细胞内传递。通过显微镜和酶分析,我们证明了这些颗粒能够将功能性酶输送到多种细胞系中。重要的是,被输送的蛋白质能够从内体中逃逸。此外,这些颗粒没有明显的细胞毒性。
