title: Induced polymersome formation from a diblock PS-b-PAA polymer via encapsulation of positively charged proteins and peptides.
abstract: In contrast to simple salts or negatively charged macromolecules, positively charged proteins and peptides including cytochrome c (yeast) and poly-L-lysine are efficiently encapsulated while inducing the formation of polymersomes from polystyrene(140)-b-poly(acrylic acid)(48) (PS(140)-b-PAA(48)).
