Design and self-assembly of a leucine-enkephalin analogue in different nanostructures: application of nanovesicles

Koley, P., Gayen, A., Drew, M. G. B., Mukhopadhyay, C. and Pramanik, A. (2012) Design and self-assembly of a leucine-enkephalin analogue in different nanostructures: application of nanovesicles. Small, 8 (7). pp. 984-990. ISSN 1613-6810 doi: 10.1002/smll.201101685

Abstract/Summary

An opioid (leucine-enkephalin) conformational analogue forms diverse nanostructures such as vesicles, tubes, and organogels through self-assembly. The nanovesicles encapsulate the natural hydrophobic drug curcumin and allow the controlled release through cation-generated porogens in membrane mimetic solvent.
