Abstract

Biomimetic systems Multivesicles Self-assembly Transmembrane channels Vesicles
(Figure Presented) Multivesicle assemblies with pH-responsive transmembrane channels in the vesicle walls (see picture) were made by two-step double emulsion of copolymers comprising acrylic acid and acrylate of 1,2-distearoyl-rac-glycerol. These assemblies mimic eukaryotic cells, which contain functional organelles within the cell walls. © 2008 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
