  1. Experimental values are given as: Mean (95 % confidence interval)
  2. a95 % confidence interval for experimental data obtained from confidence intervals about linear regression line used for the correlation between F des measured by AFM and determined by SPR
  3. bAdsorption free energy values for (100) quartz were calculated from a single 3 ns umbrella simulation using default CHARMM parameters. Multiple independent simulations were not performed due to a decision to not proceed with tuning IFF parameters for this surface at this time. Confidence intervals are expected to be approximately √3 larger than those obtained for the silica glass surface using 3 independent simulations, shown in Table 3
