Abstract

The development of protein-polymer complexes using protein cages is garnering attention as a strategy to overcome challenges that relate to immunogenicity and protease degradation. We propose the use of thermoresponsive polymers such as poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) to form ferritinpolymer complexes through non-covalent interactions. Ferritin is observed to be released from the complexes after 12 days incubation at 37 °C.
