Schematic representation of materials and method. (A) Representation of ELP-R5 diblock polymer with a C-terminal silaffin R5 peptide; the hydrophobic ELP block is in red and the hydrophilic ELP block is in blue. (B) Amino acid sequence for ELP-R5 containing leader, sequence at the N-terminus for conjugation of fluorophore (black), hydrophobic ELP block (red), hydrophilic ELP block (blue), and silaffin R5 peptide (green). (C) Representation of the reaction process proceeding from assembly of ELP constructs into micelles in solution, followed by addition of TMOS to produce silica nanoparticles.
