We describe a process for engineering a synthetic polymer nanoparticle (NP) that functions as an effective, broad-spectrum metalloproteinase inhibitor. Inhibition is achieved by incorporating three functional elements in the NP; a group that interacts with the catalytic zinc ion, functionality that enhances affinity to the substrate-binding pocket and by fine-tuning the chemical composition of the
