Table 2. Lattice parameters of the self-assembling peptides from the design in comparison with those determined from analysis of Fourier transforms of the TEM images in Fig. 2.
a and b denote the dimensions of the two-dimensional unit cell, and γ denotes the interior angle defined by sides a and b.
