Figure 1

Illustration of the experimental system. Neutrons strike the opposite face of the lipid monolayer from where Nef interacts. The dimensions of Nef from the most extended form of the Geyer and Peterlin model (17) are shown at the left, along with the dimensions of the two lipids. For the purpose of size comparison, a model of a highly compact form of Nef is shown on the right. This figure is meant to illustrate the experimental setup and not necessarily to show the true conformation of Nef at the membrane.
