Constructing catalytic antimicrobial nanoparticles by encapsulation of hydrogen peroxide producing enzyme inside the P22 VLP

Here we examine a self-assembling virus like particle to construct catalytically active nanoparticles that can inhibit bacterial growth. The results suggest that encapsulation of enzymes inside VLPs can be exploited to develop new bionanomaterials with useful functionalities.
