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.
