Aggregation of PapMV nanoparticles and discs at different temperatures. A) Aggregation state of recombinant nanoparticles or discs of PapMV NP-12, PapMV NP-C and PapMV (0.1 mg/ml) was measured by DLS at increasing temperature (speed of heating: 1°C/min.). The increase in diameter induced by heat is caused by the aggregation of nanoparticles. B) Using the same conditions as in (A), the aggregation of recombinant nanoparticles of PapMV NP-12, PapMV NP-C and PapMV either treated or not with glutaraldehyde was measured by DLS.
