P.836 right column 3rd paragraph: "A second estimate of the vesicle mass distribution was obtained by quantitative dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) (Engel, 1978). An average mass 16.2 ± 4.1 MDa (n = 281) or 15.9 ± 3.5 MDa (n = 276, excluding a few very high values) was determined (Figure 3D). The latter corresponds to (26.4 ± 5.8) × 10^−18 g/vesicle, in good agreement with the predicted dry mass of 29.6 × 10^−18 g/vesicle (BNID 102734 see Figure S5 for details)." |
