Physical characterization of Cyt c-HA bioconjugates.

Samples	Loading %	Zeta potential, mV	Caspase-9 activation %
Cyt c	N/A	15.1 ± 0.5	100
Cyt c-HA 8kDa^*	35 ± 5	−8.8 ± 0.4	90 ± 6
Cyt c-HA 1MDa^*	16 ± 1	−10 ± 1	97 ± 4
Cyt c-HA 8kDa	4 ± 1	−11.9 ± 0.7	106 ± 7
Cyt c-HA 1MDa	4.3 ± 0.8	−22 ± 1	97 ± 7

Represent the difference in loading percentage between samples with the same molecular weight HA. According to DLS measurements the size and polydispersity index of Cyt c-HA 8kDa and Cyt c-HA 1MDa was 209.9 nm ± 0.3 and 95.2 nm ± 0.5, respectively.
