Fig. 1. UV–vis heating profiles reveal hydrophobicity-dependent shifts in ELP transition temperature.

Fig. 1

UV-visible spectroscopy absorbance data for 1 mg/mL peptide solution dissolved in 1 M NaCl as a function of temperature (20–80 °C) with a ramp rate of 0.5 °C/min. These heating profiles show transition temperature decreases as the hydrophobicity of the ELP sequence increases. Lines are added to guide the eye to see the transition behavior. Each data point represents a single absorbance value read at a specific temperature.
