Fig. 4: Partitioning of fluorescent payloads within droplets depends on peptide polarity.
From: Biomolecular condensates formed by designer minimalistic peptides
Confocal microscopy images of (a) fluorescein, (b) Rhodamine B and (c) GFP partitioning within WGR-1, WGR-3, WGR-4, and WGR-5 peptide droplets. Scale bar = 10 μm. Insets: Macroscopic images of the partitioning of the fluorescent payload in peptide droplets samples before (left) and after (right) centrifugation and droplet sedimentation. Encapsulation efficiency (EE) analysis of peptide droplets calculated from absorbance measurements of bulk solutions for (d) WGR-1 (e) WGR-3 (f) WGR-4 (g) WGR-5. Data are presented as mean of n = 3 +/− SD. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
