Detergent radius of gyration for OmpA (black lines) and GpA (grey lines) self-assembly into protein/detergent micelles. The thin lines correspond to all detergent molecules, whereas the thick lines correspond to the main micelle (i.e. the detergent molecules in the ‘globule’ are excluded). The dashed lines correspond to the radii of gyration of equivalent micelles from atomistic simulations 21. The kinetics of formation of the main micelle have been characterised by measuring the exponential decay in radius of gyration, yielding time constants of ~5 ns for GpA and ~12 ns for OmpA. These are similar to the values from corresponding atomistic simulations.
