Carrasco et al. report a method that can predict the lipid nanoparticles (LNP) pKa from the structure of the ionizable lipid. They investigate the delivery efficiency for intramuscular and intravascular administration and propose design principles to limit off-target systemic distribution and expression for mRNA LNP vaccines.
