Abstract
Enzyme-filled stable polymeric capsules (polymersomes) that are permeable to low-molecular-weight (pro-fluorescent) substrates can be sorted based on the activity of encapsulated enzymes using flow cytometry (see image). Enzymatic activity is screened by the build-up of fluorescent product that is prevented from leaking out by co-encapsulation of a trapping agent.
