Fig. 1: Self-assembly mechanism and characterization of LNT/SPc complex.
a ITC titration of SPc aqueous solution (0.1 mmol/L) into LNT aqueous solution (0.01 mmol/L). b Infrared spectra of SPc, LNT and LNT/SPc complex investigated by FTIR. c Schematic illustration of self-assembled LNT/SPc complex. d TEM images and particle size distributions of SPc, LNT and LNT/SPc complex. e Zeta potentials of SPc, LNT and LNT/SPc complex. Each treatment contained three independent samples. Different letters above each bar indicate significant differences at p < 0.05 as determined by one-way ANOVA with Tukey HSD test (F2, 6 = 148.10, p < 0.001). Bars represent the mean ± SEM.
