aTabulated results are means from four closely-reproduced separate determinations for each condition and spectral type. Powder was solvated with D 2O and dried onto the germanium.

FTIR sample crystal using a stream of dry nitrogen gas. The dried film was then hydrated with deuterated water vapor for one hour prior to spectral measurement.

bSee Figure 2. ATR-FTIR spectra were estimated for proportions of the secondary structure for SMB in surfactant lipid films using self-deconvolution of the peptide amide I band (see Methods).
