Peptide modified mesoporous silica nanocontainers

Phys Chem Chem Phys. 2011 Jun 7;13(21):9982-5. doi: 10.1039/c0cp02959a.

Abstract

Here we report a new peptide modified mesoporous silica nanocontainer (PMSN) as a novel controlled release system. The peptides are part of a stimuli responsive nanovalve and ensure an efficient cellular uptake.
