Figure 1: Determination of the diameter of unilamellar lipid vesicles (ULV).
From: Structural Studies of a Lipid-Binding Peptide from Tunicate Hemocytes with Anti-Biofilm Activity
The hydrodynamic diameter (Dh) of lipid vesicles in the absence (solid squares) and presence of clavanin A (empty squares) as assessed by dynamic light scattering. In the absence of peptide, both POPC (red) and POPC:POPG (blue) vesicles had a narrow distribution of size centred at 110 nm. When the peptide was present, there was evidence of higher association with the anionic POPC:POPG vesicles (less residual 110 nm liposomes) as well as a large amount of aggregation and multimodal distributions, likely due to fusion, that were detected.
