TABLE 2.

Membrane depths for spin labels on SCAMP-E peptide

PC/PS (3:1)
PC/PS/PI(4,5)P2 (73:22:5)
Peptide Φ d (Å) Φ d (Å)
C1R1 0.64 7.3 0.82 7.8
I6R1 0.76 7.6 1.3 9.1
A9R1 1.2 8.8 1.2 8.8

The membrane depth, d, corresponds to the position of the nitroxide side chain from the level of the lipid phosphate where positive values indicate a position within the bilayer. The error in the depth due to the error in Φ is ∼±1 Å.
