Abstract

Reversible stereoselective complexes between L-peptides and enantioselective D-polysters were discovered. The spontaneously formed complexes obtained as uniform microparticles of 2-5μm in size showed controlled release of the interlocked peptides. The stereoselective complexation occurred only with D-PLA, not with L-PLA or racemic DL-PLA as shown by SAXS studies.
