Neuron reflectivity results for kalata B1, including fitted parameters as well as derived structural parameters
T, thickness; ρh, scattering length density in H2O; ρd, scattering length density in D2O; ϕ, volume fraction; %PE, volume percentage of DMPE; %kB1, volume percentage of kB1; A, area available per molecule; Γ, lipid surface coverage; n, number of peptide molecules per unit area; c, cis; t, trans. The errors in A and Γ for each layer were directly propagated from the fitting uncertainty in T and ϕ, whereas the uncertainties in these parameters are coupled, with the overall uncertainty being 10% in each value.
a The total peptide bound is the sum of the n value for all layers (i.e. 0 μm is 0 μmol m−2, 5 μm is 0.002 μmol m−2, 25 μm is 0.152 μmol m−2, 50 μm is 0.312 μmol m−2, and 100 μm is 0.392 μmol m−2).
