Controlled Release of Guest Molecules from Spherical Assembly of Trigonal Gultathione by Disulfide Recombination

Matsuura K, Tochio K, Watanabe K, Kimizuka N

Nanospheres formed by self-assembly of trigonal glutathione (TG) underwent disulfide recombination upon addition of dithiothreitol. Guest molecules encapsulated in the nanospheres were gradually released during the recombination process.
