Abstract:
Supramolecular nanoassemblies, which are capable of binding and delivering either lipophilic small molecules or hydrophilic molecules, are of great interest. Concurrently binding and delivering this combination of molecules is cumbersome, because of the opposing supramolecular host requirements. We describe the development of a versatile nanoassembly system that is capable of binding and delivering both, a protein and a lipophilic small molecule, simultaneously inside the cells.
