(A) Release
profiles for mixtures of EGFP containing different
interaction domains can be predicted, as shown with a 4:6 ratio of
ID2-EGFP/ID3-EGFP. First, release data for each pure ID protein was
fit to first-order kinetics (dashed pink and red lines), obtained
by numerically integrating the equation [Pu]t = k1 [Pb] –k–1 [Pu], where t is time, Pu is unbound protein,
Pb is bound protein, and k1 and k–1 are adsorption/desorption
rate constants. Fits are linearly combined to predict the release
of the mixed system (black dashed line), which agrees well with the
experimental data (black circle). (B) Co-encapsulation and staggered
release of distinct proteins.
