The protein component of oyster glycogen nanoparticles: An anchor point for functionalization
by Quinn A. Besford, Alessia C. G. Weiss, Jonas Schubert, Timothy M. Ryan, Manfred F. Maitz, Pietro Pacchin Tomanin, Marco Savioli, Carsten Werner, Andreas Fery, Frank Caruso and Francesca Cavalieri explores the functionalization of oyster glycogen nanoparticles via their protein component. Here thermo-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) was grafted to endow the particles with temperature-responsive aggregation properties. The functionalization was reversible by protease treatment and did not alter the immunogenicity of the particles. Functionalization of the protein component of oyster glycogen nanoparticles therefore extends the possibilities to apply these particles in nanomedicine, as published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.
