Putative estimation of the changes in the outer diameter of the heptagonal MscS

MscS	Diameter (Å, n = 5–9)
	Control	200 μM LPC	ΔD
A132C	56.5 ± 0.6	69.2 ± 2.0∗	+12.8 ± 2.0
F178C	49.1 ± 1.4	76.3 ± 1.5∗	+27.2 ± 2.0
L246C	70.5 ± 1.1	90.7 ± 1.8∗	+20.2 ± 0.9
R259C	64.6 ± 0.6	69.3 ± 1.1†	+4.7 ± 0.7

Outer diameters were calculated from the distance L_C between α-carbons in adjacent subunits.
