Two-tier supramolecular encapsulation of small molecules in a protein cage

Protein cages are used for encapsulation of macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Here, the authors report a strategy to encapsulate poorly soluble small molecules within porous protein cages through capsid-templated micelle formation and show that the resulting lipoprotein-like cages e...
