Polymersomes are robust vesicles made from di-block co-polymers. We have engineered a two step enzymatic cascade to trigger the release of contents from polymersomes, in which extravesicular glucose oxidase makes hydrogen peroxide, when then penetrates the membrane and is converted by entrapped catalase to oxygen, leading to vesicle failure.
