Table 1.

Parameter values for the chain models considered. N/A means not applicable—that the value was irrelevant because its potential was set to zero. A blank space means the value was varied. The double quote means the value is repeated from the cell above. N, and ϵPW are not listed in the table because they were allowed to vary for each chain model. Simulation temperature was 300 K.
