9.0% PEG lipid<br />
in lipids<br />
neutrons see contrast between<br />
heads (2.6), tails (-0.4),<br />
D 2 O (6.4) & PEG (0.24)<br />
x-rays see heads (0.65), but all<br />
else has same electron density<br />
within 10% (0.33)<br />
SLD [Å -2 ]<br />
Interface broadens as PEG<br />
concentration increases - this is<br />
main effect seen with x-rays<br />
