Figure 4.

Average invasion reaction rate constants for external and internal toehold U.C.s (left scale), as well as C.C.s (right scale). Complexes are presented with the number of auxiliary arms, which does not include the reporter arm and in the case of internal toehold and C.C.s; the duplex on the opposite side of the toehold is also omitted. Average external toehold complex rate constants are shown as blue circles. Average internal toehold complex rate constants are shown as orange down-pointing triangles. Reaction rate constants of C.C.s are shown as gray diamonds and measured using the scale on the right of the plot. Averages are taken from technical triplicates of each complex.
