{\it Total} protein concentrations in the cell are typically on the |
125 |
|
order of 160-310 mg/ml,\cite{Brown1991195} and individual proteins |
126 |
|
have concentrations orders of magnitude lower than this in the |

cellular environment. The effective concentrations of single proteins |
545 |
|
and previous simulation work throughout the 1 -- 1000 atm pressure |
546 |
|
regime. Compressibilities computed using the Hull volume, however, |
547 |
|
deviate dramatically from the experimental values at low applied |

pressures. The reason for this deviation is quite simple; at low |

pressures. The reason for this deviation is quite simple: at low |
549 |
|
applied pressures, the liquid is in equilibrium with a vapor phase, |
550 |
|
and it is entirely possible for one (or a few) molecules to drift away |
551 |
|
from the liquid cluster (see Fig. \ref{fig:coneOfShame}). At low |
575 |
|
different pressures must be done to compute the first derivatives. It |
576 |

is also possible to compute the compressibility using the fluctuation |

dissipation theorem using either fluctuations in the |
