1

Mean ± SEM of the average elliptical diameter determined from AFM micrographs of 25 capsules from two different preparations after drying on mica at 0.5 ng/ml.

2

Average surface charge measured by DLS across a 20 volt potential in 1 mM KCl at 2 μg/ml. Data shown are the mean ± SE of 15 independent measurements.

3

Morphology of all nanocapsules determined by visual AFM observation as uniform, single capsules.

4

Calculated and Laemmli SDS-PAGE-determined apparent molecular mass.
