Polymers, (inorganic) nanoparticles, and biological molecules can be combined to multifunctional units. Two points will be addressed in particular. First, by integrating nanoparticles in biodegradable polymer matrices the size of the resulting particles can be designed to vary over time. Consequences for endo- and exocytosis will be discussed. Second, polymers can be used for the encapsulation of enzymes. In this way transport of the enzymes into cells is possible via endocytosis. Applications of such internalized enzymes will be discussed.
