Current approaches to generate core-shell nanoparticles for biomedical applications are limited by factors such as synthetic scalability and circulatory desorption of cytotoxic surfactants. Developments in controlled radical polymerization, particularly in dispersed states, represent a promising method of overcoming these challenges.

Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, a chemolithoautotrophic Gram-negative bacterium, has a remarkable ability to obtain energy from ferrous iron oxidation at pH 2. Several metalloproteins have been described as being involved in this respiratory chain coupling iron oxidation with oxygen reduction. However, their
