DNA Binding in High Salt: Analysing the Salt Dependence of Replication Protein A3 from the Halophile Haloferax volcanii

Table 1

Dissociation constants and Hill coefficients calculated from a Hill binding model for HvRPA3 constructs compared with dimeric MacRPA3 [10]. A two-site binding model was employed for the NTD analysis in 1 M KCl as described in Section 2. Protein concentration is for the monomer equivalent, with the exception of NTD in 1 M KCl, where dimeric concentration was employed in model fitting.
