Disassembly of polymeric nanoparticles with enzyme-triggered polymer unzipping: polyelectrolyte complexes vs. amphiphilic nanoassemblies

Abstract

Enzyme-induced chain unzipping is shown to cause nanoparticle disassembly. The self-assembly and triggered disassembly are evaluated in two different formats.
