Spectral deconvolution was done with three Gaussian lineshapes whose peak shifts, linewidths, and intensities were independently varied until there was minimal difference between the sum of the lineshapes and the experimental lineshape. For all cases, there was excellent agreement between the best-fit deconvolution sum lineshape and experimental lineshape, see Supporting Information. Deconvolution was not meaningful for the 1-13C Ala and 1-13C Gly samples because the S0 spectra were broad and relatively featureless and the deconvolutions were dominated by a lineshape with ~7 ppm linewidth.

Spectral intensities were calculated with the following considerations: (1) 100% labeling of the Fgp41 residues corresponding to the labeled amino acid(s) with no scrambling to other amino acid types; (2) 1.0 relative intensity for each labeled 13CO; (3) 0.011 relative intensity for each natural abundance 13CO; (4) the Fgp41 natural abundance signal was the sum from backbone 13COs and Asn, Asp, Gln, and Glu sidechain 13COs; and (5) the lipid natural abundance signal was calculated using the experimental Fgp41:total lipid mol ratios. The specific ratio in each sample: 1-13C, 15N Leu, 0.011; 1-13C Phe + 15N Leu, 0.012; 1-13C Val + 15N Phe, 0.016; 1-13C Val + 15N Gly, 0.009; 1-13C Ala + 15N Gly, 0.013; and 1-13C Gly + 15N Leu, 0.019. The labeled 13CO fraction in N- and C- helices was based on the red and green regions in Fig. 1a.

c

The typical uncertainty of (ΔS/S0)exp was ±0.02 as determined from the standard deviation of integrals of regions of the S0 and S1 spectra which contained noise rather than signal.

d

The reasons for assignment of peaks to specific conformations are provided in the main text.

e

Full-width at half-maximum linewidth.

f

The (ΔS/S0)calc were based on: (1) the fraction of the S0 signal from labeled 13COs directly bonded to labeled 15Ns; and (2) a S1/S0 intensity ratio for these 13COs of 0.70 (1 ms dephasing time) or 0.85 (2 ms dephasing time). These ratios were based on experimental REDOR data of crystalline amino acid samples as well as simulations. The 1 ms dephasing time was used for the Fgp41 sample labeled with 1-13C, 15N Leu and the 2 ms dephasing time was used for the other Fgp41 samples.
