title: Synthesis of protein-silica hybrid hollow particles through the combination of protein catalysts and sonochemical treatment.
abstract: Hollow spherical particles with protein-silica hybrid shell structures have been synthesized through a combination of the catalytic activity of the protein and sonochemical treatment; the morphologies of the particles were controlled by varying the protein concentration.
