A method for fabricating hybrid monodisperse nanostructures comprising synthetic viruslike particles enclosed in an impermeable ultrathin amorphous calcium phosphate shell is described. The native and hybrid nanostructures are fully characterized at nanometer resolution and the permeability of the coronal layer is probed using fluorescence spectroscopy.
