Snippet: A biocompatible as well as biodegradable nanoparticle has been designed by computer modeling, which self-assembles from single polypeptide chains to produce a structure with isohedral symmetry and a diameter of ϳ 16 nm [31] . These peptide nanoparticles are multifunctional with high binding affinity and specificity. They can be customized to a high functional density.

Document: A biocompatible as well as biodegradable nanoparticle has been designed by computer modeling, which self-assembles from single polypeptide chains to produce a structure with isohedral symmetry and a diameter of ϳ 16 nm [31] . These peptide nanoparticles are multifunctional with high binding affinity and specificity. They can be customized to a high functional density. This platform was used to design and produce a prototypic ma-laria vaccine that can repetitively display a tandem repeat of the B cell immunodominant repeat epitope of the circumsporozoite protein of rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei [32] . Administered without an adjuvant, this vaccine conferred a long-lasting antibody response against B cell epitope and protected mice against malarial parasite for up to 6 months.
