proteinoid การใช้
- Proteinoid-based protocells enclosing RNA molecules could have been the first cellular life forms on Earth.
- Proteinoid microspheres are today being considered for use in pharmaceuticals, providing microscopic biodegradable capsules in which to package and deliver oral drugs.
- This is because some of the amino acids incorporated into proteinoid chains are more hydrophobic than others, and so proteinoids cluster together like droplets of oil in water.
- He found that, as they dried, the amino acids formed long, often cross-linked, thread-like microscopic polypeptide globules, he named " proteinoid microspheres ".
