Liposome characteristics of liposomes containing 0–5 mol% of targeting molecule GM3. Liposomal size, polydispersity index (PDI) and zeta potential were measured in 10 or 0.3 mM HEPES saline buffer, pH 7.4, at 25 °C, respectively.

GM3 Amount Incorporated (mol%)	Mean Size (nm)	Mean PDI	Mean Zeta Potential (mV)
0 mol% GM3	169 ± 0.3	0.13 ± 0.02	−61.0 ± 2.7
1 mol% GM3	178 ± 2.2	0.17 ± 0.004	−58.5 ± 1.4
3 mol% GM3	154 ± 0.8	0.17 ± 0.02	−67.3 ± 2.4
5 mol% GM3	158 ± 0.9	0.17 ± 0.006	−64.9 ± 3.0
