Abstract
Elastin-Like Polypeptides are an interesting class of recombinant proteins that mimic elastin. Here we present some data about phase transition properties and particle formation features of the recombinantly expressed Human Elastin-Like polypeptide (HELP). This macromolecule shows a promising potential as vehicle for delivery and controlled release of active compounds.
