Structure of a typical cellular Hb-based oxygen carrier in a single-protein nanocapsule. In this product, Hb is covered by a thin layer of acrylamide and bisacrylamide monomers. This thin layer increases the thermal and pH stability of Hb and also protects Hb against protease degradation in blood circulation.
