  • 13Full-length GlyRβ with substitution D407P and F408G.

  • 14Full-length GlyRβ with substitution F398A and I400A. For the full-length GlyRβ variants, a threshold of 0.02 µm2/s was applied (corresponding to the median Deff of GlyRβ-wt in fixed samples). The given Q1, Q2 and Q3 values only represent the trajectories above this threshold.
