---|---|---|
Peptide 1 particles | Peptide 2 particles | |
Hydrodynamic radius (nm) | 2.05 | 1.47 |
Polydispersity (nm)b | 0.3 | 0.3 |
Molecular mass (kDa)c | 18.7 | 6.8 |
Peptide 1 particles form stable trimers at pH 7.35, as revealed by dynamic light scattering. For peptide 1 particles, the mean scattering amplitude of the measurement was 0.798, and the diffusion coefficient was 1,025 cm2/s. For peptide 2 particles, the mean scattering amplitude of the measurement was 0.670, and the diffusion coefficient was 1,434 cm2/s.
The peptide 1 sample is primarily monodisperse, since the polydispersity is 14.0% of the mean hydrodynamic radius. Monomodal analysis yields a baseline of 1.000 and a sum-of-squares value of 0.387. The peptide 2 sample is primarily monodisperse, since the polydispersity is 20.0% of the mean hydrodynamic radius. Monomodal analysis yields a baseline of 1.000 and a sum-of-squares value of 2.726.
The molecular masses of the particles were calculated by applying the volume shape hydration relationship model using a standard curve of globular proteins.
