α-Helical content of NP-cyt c and change in α-helicity in 0.1 M NaCl

Conjugate	No salt, %	0.1 M NaCl, %	Δα-helicity, %
H39C-NP	7.3	15.6	8.3
D50C-NP	16.2	17.5	1.3
E66C-NP	7.7	20.7	13.0
K99C-NP	4.8	6.1	1.3
C102-NP	5.6	6.9*	1.3

CD spectra were deconvoluted by CDSSTR algorithm (37).

*α-helicity reported previously for same NPs is higher (10) because of different labeling conditions (pH, the cyt c/NP labeling ratio, and DTT wash).
