Her team studies how to build and program molecules to form assemblies for many purposes, including biomedical transport. She developed a specialized polymer that binds to the peptide, forming a large, water-soluble molecule. This allows it to travel easily through the bloodstream while keeping the peptide intact as it reaches its destination. The system drives the molecules to form self-assembled structures called micelles, which are assemblies of around 100 or so individual molecules, Leon says.</news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/149000//p>/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/149000/n<p>/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/149000/u201cIn addition, we can tune the shape of these micelles, decorate them with targeting elements and make mixed versions of them where we incorporate different functionalities,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/149000/u201d she says. /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/149000/u201cOur original designs have had great preliminary results so far.
