Characterization of the self-assembly behavior of the ELP-Chol as a representative CHaMP using different spectroscopic, scattering, and imaging techniques. a) Turbidimetry analysis of the temperature-triggered LCST phase transition shows that the cholesterol modification decreases the Tt of the ELP-Chol and reduces its concentration dependence. b and c) DLS and SLS indicate that the ELP-Chol self-assemble into micelles with a hydrodynamic radius (Rh) of 24 nm, which is consistent with the observed changes in the phase-behavior. d) Cryo-TEM imaging of ELP-Chol micellar nanoaggregates.
