논문초록 Protein nanocapsules are potentially useful as functional nanocarriers because of their hollow structures, high biocompatibilies, and the intrinsic activity of their protein constituents. However, developing a facile method for the preparation of protein nanocapsules that retain their protein activity has been challenging. Here we describe the preparation of protein nanocapsules through the enzymatic removal of polymer templates. Nickel(II) nitrilotriacetic acid-end-functionalized poly(lactic acid) was introduced as a polymeric template to immobilize hexa-histidine-tagged green fluorescence proteins with consistent orientation. Following protein cross-linking and core-degradation, AFM and NMR study indicated the formation of protein hollow structures. We also confirmed the orientation control and the activity preservation of the protein after capsule preparation.
