Multipartite Designer Nanoparticles. The phage lambda decoration protein can be site‐specifically modified with biological and synthetic ligands. The purified constructs are used to decorate phage capsids, packed with protein or polynucleotide cargos, in controllable and defined surface densities to afford designer nanoparticles for a variety of theranostic applications.
