Protein encapsulation in liposomes: efficiency depends on interactions between protein and phospholipid bilayer.

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>We investigated the encapsulation mechanism of enzymes into liposomes. The existing protocols to achieve high encapsulation efficiencies are basically optimized for chemically stable molecules. Enzymes, however, are fragile and encap...
