Targeted killing of cancer cells by engineered nanoparticles holds great promise for noninvasive photothermal therapy applications. We present the design and generation of a novel class of gold nanoshells with cores composed of self-assembled block copolypeptide vesicles with photothermal properties. Specifically, poly(L-lysine)<sub>60</sub>- block-poly(L-leucine)<sub>20</sub> (K<sub>60</sub>L<sub>20</sub>) block copolypeptide vesicles coated with a thin layer of gold demonstrate enhanced absorp ...[more]
