Fig. 4. — Effects of ionic strength on ssDNA flexibility. (a) Extracted persistence length, l_P, vs. ionic strength ([NaCl] + [Tris buffer]) for (dT)₃₀ (red circles), (dT)₄₀ (purple circles), and (dT)₅₀ (cyan circles). Solid red, purple, and cyan lines: respective fits to model, with constant, intrinsic persistence length and electrostatic contribution . Dotted lines: respective fits to model, , where the electrostatic contribution varies as . (b) Residuals plotted for fits in a. Fits were weighted by using error value averaged over all data points.
