Chimeric polypeptides (CPs) that are derived from elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) can self-assemble to form nanoparticles by site-specific covalent attachment of hydrophobic molecules to one end of the biopolymer backbone. Molecules with a distribution coefficient greater than 1.5 impart sufficient amphiphilicity to drive self-assembly into sub-100 nm nanoparticles.
嵌合多肽(CPs)来源于弹性蛋白样多肽(ELPs),通过将疏水分子在生物聚合物主链的一端进行特异性共价连接,可以自组装形成纳米颗粒。分配系数大于 1.5 的分子具有足够的两亲性,可以驱动自组装成小于 100nm 的纳米颗粒。
