SANS data for OmpF–amphipol A8-35 complexes after removing free APol observed at different concentrations of D2O. The scattering data (symbols) and fitting (lines) using FISH with a core/shell tube for the complex, where OmpF is the core and APol is the shell, for (a) the sample in H2O and (b) the sample in 23.5% D2O, where APol is matched. (c) The sample in 77% D2O, where dOmpF is invisible to neutrons. (d) The sample in 100% D2O. In (c) and (d) a further small signal (dashed) is included for free APol ellipsoids. In (d) a q−3.5 term for the up-turn at smallest q allows `filaments'. |
