Comparison of scImpβ-mediated facilitated entry into different types of FG hydrogels. To allow a direct comparison between FG/FxFG, GLFG, and mixed hydrogels, influx of IBB-MBP-mEGFP·scImpβ complex into these gels was measured at identical settings and quantifications were plotted to identical scales. The FG/FxFG gel (left panel) showed the weakest enrichment of the NTR·cargo complex and fast intra-gel diffusion. The GLFG gel (middle panel) was characterised by a much stronger enrichment and slower intra-gel diffusion of the mobile species. The mixed FG/FxFG/GLFG gel (right panel) showed an intermediate enrichment of the transport receptor and yet fast intra-gel diffusion. It appeared to be the most efficient gel in terms of absorbing the transport receptor.
