Figure 3:
Conductance histograms for (a) oligoalanine (b) oligoglycine and (c) alkanes. All histograms are generated from all measured traces without data selection. Solid lines indicate Gaussian (or multi-Gaussian) fits to the data. Arrows in (b) and (c) point to the single and double molecular junction peaks for GG and C5 respectively. Note that G and C1 are the same molecule. In set: (right) Structure of alkane/peptides. (left) Measured single-molecule conductance (histogram peak) versus calculated molecular junction length shown on a semi-logarithm scale along with a linear fit to the data.
