Mussel‐inspired protein nanoparticles are described by H. J. Cha and co‐workers in their Communication on page 7318 ff. These nanoparticles are capable of pH‐responsive drug release, which is induced by pH‐dependent changes in the Fe III –DOPA coordination stoichiometry, and could thus be used for controlled drug delivery (DOPA=3,4‐dihydroxyphenylalanine).
