Figure 1.

SANS patterns, represented as scattered intensity dΣ/dΩ versus scattering vector Q, of CPP ripening in D₂O (2.5 mg/mL bovine BF, 10 mM CaCl₂, and 6 mM PO₄ in D₂O). The patterns show a bimodal shape reflecting CPP scattering at low Q values and BF scattering at high Q values. Initial CPPs (i.e., primary CPPs, open circles) were only transiently stable. Extensive structural rearrangements lead to a second transiently stable state (secondary CPPs, open squares).
