Abstract

(Figure Presented) Energy spheres: A biomimetic system consisting of the assembly of FoF1 ATPase in lipid-modified polyelectrolyte microcapsules enables adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to be synthesized and stored in the hollow shells, which thereby act as containers for energy storage (see schematic representation; ADP: adenosine diphosphate; Pi: inorganic phosphate).
