Natural inspiration: Amphiphilic polysaccharide‐block‐polypeptide copolymers were synthesized by click chemistry from dextran end‐functionalized with an alkyne group and poly(γ‐benzylL‐glutamate) end‐functionalized with an azide group. The ability of these copolymers to self‐assemble into small vesicles (see picture) suggests the possibility of a new generation of drug‐ and gene‐delivery systems whose structure mimics that of viruses.
