The parameters investigated included transfection efficiency, endosomal escape and temporal stability. Sequence modifications to the parent sequences were investigated. Biophysical characterizations and cell biological studies were employed. Modified sequences were identified that enhanced the performance of the two capsule types.en-US© the author.
