A translation of Beta-binders in pi@ is presented. Beta-binders is a bio-inspired formalism that allows the modelling of processes wrapped into boundaries. No notion of enclosing compartment can instead be found in pi@, a dialect of the pi-calculus where actions are associated with a priority value driving their execution and where channel names can have a composite structure.As recently shown, pi@ is a suitable language for encoding both Bio-Ambients and Brane Calculi, two of the most well-known formalisms for modelling biological scenarios. The translation provided here, which comes together with results about the operational correspondence of Beta-binders processes and their encodings, goes in the direction of assessing pi@ as a platform for investigating the relative expressive power of various bio-inspired languages
