Figure 5. NTRs favor the penetration of and binding into FG domain films, but only just so.
Computed packing fraction profiles (polymer – blue solid line, colloid – red dashed line) in the presence of 10 μM NTR, as a function of distance from the grafting surface. The top row shows the predictions for the parameter sets of εpp and εpc that match the experimental data best (cf. Figure 4 and Table 2). The bottom row shows predictions with εpp increased by 33% compared to the best match. Schemes (insets) illustrate the distinct distributions of NTRs with these two parameter choices.
