Energy spheres : A biomimetic system consisting of the assembly of F o F 1 ATPase in lipid‐modified polyelectrolyte microcapsules enables adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to be synthesized and stored in the hollow shells, which thereby act as containers for energy storage (see schematic representation; ADP: adenosine diphosphate; Pi: inorganic phosphate).
