Reduction of structural perturbations in bovine serum albumin by non‐aqueous microencapsulation

Protein stability is a factor limiting the use of sustained‐release devices in medical applications. The aim of this study was to reduce structural perturbations occurring in the frequently used model protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA), upon microencapsulation in poly(D,L‐lactide‐co‐glycolide) (PLG) microspheres.
