Table 1. Assignment of WAXS peaks.
peak position | d (nm) | assignment | physical correlate | expected d (nm) |
equatorial | 0.461 | 2 0 0 | inter-strand spacing in direction of H-bonds | 0.472 |
near-equatorial | 0.373 | 2 0 1 | inter-strand spacing in direction of H-bonds; amino acid spacing in direction of peptide backbone | 0.383 |
equatorial | 0.373 | 2 2 0 | inter-strand spacing in direction of H-bonds; inter-sheet spacing in direction of side-chains | 0.3731 |
The expected d-spacing for the (2 2 0) peak is 0.373 nm when the inter-sheet spacing in the direction of amino acid side-chains is 1.27 nm.
