The Estimated Number of Lipids in the Central Cavity of HTL, Estimated by Three Different Methods
Method | Estimated Number of Lipids in the Core | Shape of the Lipid Core (see Fig. 7) |
---|---|---|
CG MD | 9.4 ± 0.8 | lipid monolayer |
SANS, I(0) | 10 ± 14a | no shape assumed |
SANS, fitting | 8–29 | lipid bilayer with cylindrical shape |
The number of lipids determined from the I(0) alone was affected by protein aggregation (see main text). These aggregations were taken into account in the fitting process.
