synthetic proteins

A nanocapsule of nucleic acids and peptides that releases the medicine inside in response to defined enzymes. (1) in the first step the peptide undergoes cross-linking on the surface of the nanoparticle; (2) In the next step, a defined enzyme recognizes the peptide cross-linking group, (3) and in the last step, the enzyme's release leads to the release of the drug or the nucleic acids that were locked inside the capsule.

The lack of ATP in the cells of Escherichia coli causes them to take on an elongated shape and form compact lipid structures called endoliposomes. These structures can be clearly seen in the images presented here obtained with the help of a TEM microscope.
