Figure 6.

Lauric acid–glycerol monolaurate (LA–GML, 10 mM) was mixed with yeast ribosomal RNA in a 2:1 ratio by weight in pH 3.3 Geyser Basin water, then dried on a microscope and rehydrated with the same volume of water. Phase (A) and fluorescence (B) images. (C) A control in which the same lipid mixture was prepared without a wet–dry cycle and put through the gel permeation column in the absence of RNA.
