Segmental folding behavior of γ₁ in PC (a), PG (b), and mixed (c) bilayers. The total peptide folding was dissected into three overlapping ten-residue segments: residues 1–10 (N-term), residues 6–15 (middle), and residues 12–21 (C-term). The helicity values are obtained by averaging the S_α values of the segments over the final 10 ns in each US window. The absolute S_α values are divided by the theoretical limit which is 5 for a ten-residue segment. Curves are smoothed by performing a five-point moving average
