Fractions 15–21 were considered. Each fraction had a volume of 0.78 mL; total volume of all vesicle fractions, 5.46 mL. Amounts applied onto the Sepharose 4B column, ≈6.0 μmol POPC (= 0.5 mL 12 μmol mL−1) and ≈16 nmol HRP (= 0.5 mL 31 nmol mL−1) (Figure 5).

b

Calculated by assuming monodisperse, unilamellar and spherical vesicles. Further, a thickness of the POPC bilayer of 3.7 nm and a mean POPC headgroup area of 0.72 nm2 were taken into account.61,62

c

[vesicle] = [POPC]/NPOPC.

d

Nves = n(POPC)NA/NPOPC; NA = 6.02 × 1023, Avogadro’s number.

e

NHRP = n(HRP)NA/Nves = [HRP]overall/[vesicle].

f

[HRP]inside = n(HRP)/(VvesNves) = NHRP/(VvesNA).
