Visualization of Iron-Binding Micelles in Acidic Recombinant Biomineralization Protein, MamC

Figure 4

HAADF-STEM in-situ visualization of micellar aggregates in MamC incubated with ferric chloride overnight. The micelles in the back, slightly out of focus, appear to be tightly packed. (a) Representative images. Note the differences in the scale bars. Scale bar on the left: 20 nm; scale bars in the middle and on the right: 50 nm. (b) Intensity-based particle size distribution of micellar aggregates in MamC specimen incubated with iron overnight.
