FIGURE 4.

Effects of laser-irradiation on keratoepithelin peptide fibrils in a glass cell monitored by ThT fluorescence, light scattering, and transmission electron microscopy. A and B, kinetics of the decomposition of C110–131 (A) and H110–131 (B) fibrils were monitored using ThT fluorescence (●, ■) and light scattering (○, □) with (●, ○) or without (■, □) laser irradiation. C–F, electron microscopy images of C110–131 (C and D) and H110–131 (E and F) fibrils without laser irradiation (C and E) or after laser irradiation (D and F). Scale bars = 1 μm.
