Figure 2.
Transmission electron micrographs of lysine-based polymers. Particle morphology of (A) pHK10, (B) pHK15, and (C) PLL in water. The length of the (D) minor axis and (E) major axis were calculated for n = 31 for pHK10, n = 39 for pHK15, and n = 44 for PLL. (F) Aspect ratio was calculated by dividing the length of the major axis by the length of the minor axis. The line denotes the mean of each set of values. Statistical significance was determined using a Kruskall-Wallis test, where (*) p < 0.05.
