Engineering a pH-Responsive Protein Nanocage for Controlled Cargo Release

Protein nanocages can protect molecular cargo, but controlling its release remains a challenge. This project explores whether an encapsulin nanocage can be engineered with the pH-sensitive peptide GALA to respond to acidic conditions and enable controlled cargo release, using GFP as a model cargo.
