When phospholipids were used, they were in the form of sonicated vesicles. When Ca2+ was present, it was added to reach saturating concentrations. In the last two cases, the origin for isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) allowed fitting the results to two sets of binding sites model or to a one-site model
