title: Polymerized vesicles containing molecular recognition sites.
abstract: Vesicles are prepared from diacetylenic peptide amphiphiles that expose a molecular recognition site at the surface. The amphiphiles can be polymerized using UV light, and the resulting polymeric vesicles exhibit interesting chromatic responses that can be used for label-free detection of the interaction with a distinct protein in solution.
