Metadynamics-derived Helmholtz free energy of adsorption (ΔFads) for the Pser and Ser binding at the disordered (100) surface for pH = {4.5, 7.4}; see Section S2. A more negative ΔFads value implies a stronger surface binding. The results representative for the Pser@HA/Pser16 (pH = 4.5) and Ser16 samples (pH = 7.4) are typeset in boldface. The data for Pser are reproduced from ref (48).
Fractional contribution of each functional group to the net adsorption energy, as defined in Section S3. No aliphatic group is surface bound.
Distribution of stable binding modes, where each number reflects the probability (relative fraction/contribution) out of all stable binding modes. The capital letters P, C, N, and O represent the phosphate (Pser), carboxy, amino, and hydroxyl (Ser) group contributions, respectively. Only binding modes with probability ≥ 0.10 are listed.
