Abstract

(Figure Presented) Si'l vous plait? A facile and general method has been developed to encapsulate polyhistidine-tagged proteins in silica nanoparticles (NPs; gray, see picture) using calcium ions (yellow). The enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) encapsulated in the silica NPs shows a substantial increase in fluorescence intensity and stability against denaturants, protease, and heat.
