Table 1.

Average loss of contacts with water for residues in the region Gln20-Ile50 for systems that adsorbed at the air-water and surface-water interface (Binding Motif 1), compared to the bulk environment, over the last 10 ns of simulation.

Amino acid type Air-water (%) Surface-water (%)
Hydrophobic 34 17
Hydrophobic (large) 36 16
Polar 14 14
Proline 52 20
Aspartic acid 24 29

A contact was defined as a water atom coming within 3 Å of the amino acid group types defined by Livingstone and Barton (1993). A detailed plot can be found in Supplementary Figure 4.
