TRFA measurements on DM in solution show that pH variation does not result in gross alterations of the DM conformation
| pH | D⊥ μs−1 | θrms, ° | Dsphere, μs−1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7.3 | 22.5 ± 2.6 | 20.7 ± 0.7 | 5.3 ± 0.7 |
| 5.0 | 18.2 ± 2.4 | 19.9 ± 0.7 | 4.6 ± 0.7 |
The diffusion coefficient D⊥ and the amplitude θrms are parameters calculated from the TRFA measurements to monitor the internal dynamics of the DM complex. The diffusion coefficient Dsphere was calculated as a parameter expressing the aggregation behavior of DM. All measurements were performed in duplicate.
