Figure 6. Capsule Fusion Study.

Figure 6

Salt washed eosin Y trapped capsules were mixed with water filled capsules in the ratio of 1:20 at RT. A) Five min fluorescence scans of eosin encapsulated vesicles spectra were taken at 5 min intervals for 235 min. The inset shows spectrum of sample stored at 4° C for 6.5 h. The units shown are identical to those in panel A. B) Measured maximum eosin fluorescence intensity as a function of time during the fusion reaction. The t = 0 represents quenched value of salt washed eosin encapsulate in the capsules (2.0 mM). The data was fitted to a second order exponential with the error bars representing the SEM with n = 3.
