Abstract
Micelles were prepared from polymer-peptide block copolymer amphiphiles containing substrates for protein kinase A, protein phosphatase-1, and matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9. We examine reversible switching of the morphology of these micelles through a phosphorylation−dephosphorylation cycle and study peptide-sequence directed changes in morphology in response to proteolysis. Furthermore, the exceptional uniformity of these polymer-peptide particles makes them amenable to cryo-TEM reconstruction techniques lending insight into their internal structure.
