Summary of QCM-D results
Sample | Δf* (Hz) | ΔD* (× 10−6) | ΔD/Δf† (× 10−9 Hz−1) |
---|---|---|---|
Ctrl ERα-ERE | 39.9 | 0.56 | 11.7 |
E2-ERα-ERE | 33.0 | 0.93 | 26.5 |
4OHT-ERα-ERE | 19.6 | 1.63 | 71.0 |
Ctrl ERα-non-ERE | 9.3 | 1.36 | 146.2 |
Δf and ΔD are averaged from normalized signals from overtones 3, 5, and 7 measured from experiments repeated 3–4 times. The experimental variation for Δf and ΔD within each binding step is ∼±15% but similar ΔD/Δf (RSD < 5.0%) were obtained.
ΔD/Δf value gives an indication of the dissipation induced per coupled unit mass (31).
