Stabilization of Insulin upon Supramolecular Complexation with Hydrophobized Polysaccharide Nanoparticle

Abstract
The hydrogel nanoparticle that was formed by self-assembly of cholesterol-bearing pullulan complexed with 5 - 10 insulin monomers in water. Biocolloidal and thermal stability of insulin drastically increased upon the supramolecular assembly with the hydrophobized polysaccharide.
