Extended Data Fig. 6: Percentages of the main category of compounds that were extracted relative to the total number of compounds that were extracted from the MXT-20, Chirasil-β Dex and Chirasil-β Dex follow-up analyses.

These percentages are a rough estimation of the compounds that we were able to extract and with co-elutions represent a lower limit of the molecules present in the GCMS chromatogram. This is especially true for the MXT-20 and Chirasil-β Dex columns where the MTBSTFA-DMF saturation plus related by-products are likely obscuring the signal from other molecules.
