Fig. 4: Effect of the degree of polymerization.
From: Bidimensional lamellar assembly by coordination of peptidic homopolymers to platinum nanoparticles
TEM micrographs of assemblies between platinum nanoparticles and: a PBLG1; b PBLG2; c PBLG3; d PBLG4; and e PBLG5. f, Evolution of average characteristics as a function of the degree of polymerization x (the α-helix model curve represents the length of the polymer as shown in Fig. 1c for x = 60; the random coil model curve represents the diameter of gyration evolution of excluded volume random coil model with R0 = 0.22 and ν = 0.6). Positions corresponding to the micrographs of Fig. 4b, c, d, and e are made explicit on the x-axis.
