  1. GUVs were prepared from DOPC, DOPA, AOT or SDBS/DA (1:1), all at 3.0 mM total amphiphile concentration in 20 mM NaH2PO4 solution, pH = 4.3, upon micro-injection of 20 mM DOPC SUVs, DOPA SUVs, AOT SUVs, or 100 mM SDBS micelles. The observed growth rate of the GUV is normalised by that of the AOT GUV/AOT SUV system [d(A(t)/A(0))/dt  = 0.0086 s−1]. The growth rates were estimated from the growth stages in Fig. 3b; i.e., 10–40 s for AOT to AOT, 60–90 s for SDBS to AOT, 10–100 s for AOT to SDBS/DA, and 10–50 s for SDBS to SDBS/DA
  2. a[aniline] = 4.0 mM
  3. b[HRP] = 0.92 µM
  4. c[H2O2] = 2.0 M
