Liprotides made from mung bean proteins and oleic acid were created to potentially carry drugs for cancer treatment. Different combinations were tested at varying temperatures to make four types of liprotides. Tests showed that the oleic acid was enclosed within the protein shell as intended. The size of the liprotides was larger and more varied than expected. The electric charge of the liprotides was different from just oleic acid, suggesting a unique structure.
