Transmittance profile of ELP-lipid conjugates of (A) 1 mM, (B) 0.5 mM, (C) 0.2 mM, and (D) 0.1 mM in PBS at pH 7.4., and transition temperature as function of the concentration (mM) of various ELP-lipid conjugates (E).

Abstract

<p>The turbidity of ELP-lipid conjugates were characterized by monitoring transmittance at 280 nm as a function of temperature. Solution of ELP-lipids conjugates were heated at a constant rate of 1°C/min. The transition temperature (Tt) was defined as the temperature at which the solution of ELP-lipid conjugate reached 50% of transmittance. Data is shown as mean ± S.D. (n = 3).</p
