TABLE 2.

Projections along the bilayer normal of the average separations between lipid phosphorus atoms on opposite sides of the bilayer and between lysine 1 and lysine 26 α-carbons, lysine 1 and lysine 26 side-chain nitrogens, lysine 2 and lysine 25 α-carbons, and lysine 2 and lysine 25 side-chain nitrogens

Simulation 1 Simulation 2
Average POPC phosphorus Δz 41.5 Å 41.1 Å
α-carbons: Inline graphic 36.8 Å 35.1 Å
Side-chain nitrogens: Inline graphic 42.7 Å 40.9 Å
Inline graphic 5.9 Å 5.8 Å
α-carbons: Inline graphic 34.0 Å 32.2 Å
Side-chain nitrogens: Inline graphic 39.3 Å 39.3 Å
