(A) ζ potentials of cationic mesoporous silica core protocells (black dots), free liposome in the supernatant (red and blue squares) after successive lipid exchange/fusion steps, and pure DOTAP and DOPS liposomes (in 10 mM MOPS, pH 7.0, 60 mM NaCl). (B) ζ potential of protocells made by adding different concentrations of DOTAP liposomes to cationic silica nanoparticle-supported DOPS bilayers.
