Researchers develop a large dodecahedral structure through the self- assembly of metal ions and peptides, with potential implications in drug delivery systems and molecular transportation.

Researchers develop a large dodecahedral structure through the self- assembly of metal ions and peptides, with potential implications in drug delivery systems and molecular transportation.

This dodecahedral link structure, measuring 6.3 nanometers in diameter, was achieved by combining geometric principles derived from knot theory and graph theory with peptide engineering.
