Abstract
The formulation of Pickering emulsions using protein cages is gaining interest for applications in molecular delivery. Despite the growing interest, methods to investigate the at the liquid-liquid interface are limited. This chapter describes standard methods to formulate and protocols to characterize protein cage-stabilized emulsions. The characterization methods are dynamic light scattering (DLS), intrinsic fluorescence spectroscopy (TF), circular dichroism (CD), and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Combining these methods allows understanding of the protein cage nanostructure at the oil/water interface.
