Extended Data Fig. 1

a, DSC profiles of LUVs and RHP1- and RHP1,100-containing LUVs (POPE:POPG molar ratio, 3:1). LUVs were grown with RHP1 or RHP1,100 with a lipid-to-RHP molar ratio of 50:1 and a lipid concentration of 1 mg mL−1. The background signals of the buffer and the polymers were subtracted. No phase transition was observed for RHP itself. The plots are shifted vertically for clarity by +0.0001 for RHP1,100 and +0.0002 for RHP1. b, Full-width at half-maximum of the lipid phase transition peaks shown in a. Error bars are 1 s.d. (n = 3). c, d, Representative confocal fluorescence image of POPC GUVs incubated with Texas Red-labelled RHP1 (c) and Texas Red-labelled RHP1,100 (d).
