Schematic representation of C3M formation. Upon mixing of protein and diblock copolymer solutions, a rapid formation of SCs occurs. These SCs are assumed to be near-neutral protein–polymer complexes. Subsequently, the formation of C3Ms is a slower process in which SCs continuously associate to and dissociate from C3Ms, with the corresponding rate constants ka and kd, respectively.
