Abstract:
In this investigation, a study of the self-assembly of electrostatically stabilized aqueous dispersions of nanometric lipid A-monophosphate clusters from Escherichia coli was carried out in three different volume-fraction regimes. The experimental techniques used in the investigation were osmotic pressure, static and quasielastic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, and small-angle x-ray scattering. Experiments were carried out at low ionic strength (I=0.1-5.0 mM NaCl) at 25 degrees C. At volume fractions between 1.5x10(-4)
