Abstract
A heparin-specific binding peptide was conjugated to a cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) capsid protein, which was subsequently allowed to encapsulate heparin and form capsid-like protein cages. The encapsulation is specific and the capsid-heparin assemblies display negligible hemolytic activity, indicating proper blood compatibility and promising possibilities for heparin antidote applications.
