Competing Interests

The “Fonds der Chemischen Industrie” is a charity under German law to support basic research. Neither the foundation, nor its member companies had any role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. The support does not alter the authors′ adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials. KH has no financial interest in the member companies of the foundation.
