a

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).

b

Fractional contribution of each functional group to the net adsorption energy, as defined in Section S3. No aliphatic group is surface bound.

c

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.
