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

Abstract

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) responsive polymers, which can unzip from head to tail are reported. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic modification of the polymer was carried out for the formation of a polyelectrolyte complex and an amphiphilic nanoassembly, respectively, which offered distinct enzyme-triggered disassembly kinetics.
