Ratio of occupancy of xenon to nitrous oxide. The ratio of occupancy of the gas binding sites of xenon to nitrous oxide showed a significant logistic relationship with the binding sites’ hydrophobicity. (A) 10 bar, r = 0.960 (r2 = 0.922); (B) 20 bar, r = 0.984 (r2 = 0.968); and (C) 30 bar, r = 0.862 (r2 = 0.744). Y-axis: hydrophobicity as calculated for each protein in % of lining atoms being carbon atoms; X-axis: ratio of occupancy of xenon (Xe) to nitrous oxide (N2O).
