Summary of characterization data for cl-micelles by TEM, AFM, and DLS.

Sample	TEM^a	AFM^b		DLS^c
	D_av, nm	D_av, nm	H_av, nm	D_eff, nm
cl-micelles	45 ± 3.3	47 ± 6.8	8.7 ± 3.7	90 ± 1.2

Number-average diameter (D_av), n = 27. A drop of the sample solution was allowed to settle on a Formvar precoated copper grid and the sample was allowed to air-dry.

Number-average height (Hav) and diameter (Dav), n = 55. cl-micelles were deposited from aqueous solutions at pH 6.5 onto APS mica surface and allowed to dry in vacuum.

Intensity-average hydrodynamic diameter(D_eff) for DLS was determined at pH 7.4, n= 5.

Data are expressed as mean ± SD.
