pH-sensitive viral fusion protein mimics are widely touted as a promising route towards site-specific delivery of therapeutic compounds across lipid membranes. Here, we demonstrate that a fusion protein mimic, designed to achieve a reversible, pH-driven helix-coil transition mechanism, retains its functionality when covalently bound to a surface.
pH敏感的病毒融合蛋白模拟物被广泛吹捧为一种有前景的途径,可实现治疗性化合物跨脂质膜的位点特异性递送。在此,我们证明,一种设计用于实现可逆的、pH驱动的螺旋-线圈转变机制的融合蛋白模拟物,在与表面共价结合时仍保留其功能。
