a Pore diameter measured using cryo-ET. b Pore area measured using HS-AFM. c Pore depth measured using HS-AFM. Data were analyzed by two-tailed Student’s t-test. The plots are presented as 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile, with Tukey whiskers representing ±1.5× the interquartile range. N is the number of pores in the images collected from the samples of the indicated concentration. All measurements were taken from distinct samples. For cryo-ET, images were recorded from freshly prepared samples two to three times for each peptide concentration. For HS-AFM, four to five observations were made from freshly prepared samples for each peptide concentration. All measurements were taken from distinct samples.
