Deskripsi
Protein cages are used for encapsulation of macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Here, the authors report a strategy to encapsulate poorly soluble small molecules within porous protein cages through capsid-templated micelle formation and show that the resulting lipoprotein-like cages enhance the cellular delivery of these molecules.
