Correlation times, ϕc, for rotational depolarization in the planes parallel and perpendicular to the SLB obtained from an associative model fit to the anisotropy data of Fig. 3

Data from the associative model fit to the time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy

Lipid headgroup-associated peptide (lifetime = τ2) Quenched or self-associated peptide (lifetime = τ1) Lipid headgroup-associated peptide (lifetime = τ2) Quenched or self-associated peptide (lifetime = τ1)
2 ns (β2 = 24%) 25 ns (β1 = 76%) (β2 = 0) >25 ns (β1 = 100%)

ϕc-Values were obtained for two distinguishable populations of peptide: lipid headgroup-associated and quenched or self-associated. β is the fractional contribution of these populations to depolarization in each plane.
