Construction of coacervates in proteinosome hybrid microcompartments with enhanced cascade enzymatic reactions

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Nov 4;57(88):11713-11716. doi: 10.1039/d1cc05098b.

Abstract

A spatially segregative coacervate-in-proteinosome hybrid microcompartment is constructed by co-encapsulation of either positively or negatively charged polyelectrolytes within proteinosomes with enhanced cascade enzymatic reactions, providing a step towards the development of artificial eukaryotic cell like microcompartments.
