Fig. 1

P22 particles self-assembled with coat protein (CP = gray) and scaffold protein (SP)-enzyme fusion (AdhD-SP = green). NADH was synthesized to yield NADH-dendrimer conjugates (red). The porosity of P22 particles was probed by using the various NADH-dendrimer molecules as bait for the AdhD enzyme. If the “bait” accessed the interior of the particle, we saw the redox reaction (NADH→NAD+).
