TABLE IV.
Fit parameters for the sparsely tethered lipid bilayer membrane derived using the continuous distribution model. 95.4% confidence intervals were computed using a Monte Carlo resampling technique (Ref. 9).

| thickness of proximal hydrocarbon chains / Å | 17.5 ± 0.5 |
| thickness of distal hydrocarbon chains / Å | 10.9 ± 0.3 |
| bilayer completeness | 1.00 ± 0.02 |
| molar fraction of DMPC in proximal leaflet | 0.37 ± 0.01 |
| molar fraction of DMPC in distal leaflet | 1.00 (fixed) |
| number of βME per WC14 | 1.6 ± 0.8 |
| bilayer roughness / Å | 4.0 ± 0.1 |
| substrate roughness / Å | 4.5 ± 1.2 |
