Behavior of encapsulated molecules in presence of 1 mM ATP. (A) FRET histogram of 103 molecules showing two distinct states. (B) Time traces of single ssDNA molecules showing fluctuations between the two FRET states. (C) Dwell time plot of the low FRET state (filament assembly) of the 103 ssDNA with the exponential decay fit. (D) Dwell time plot of the high FRET state (filament unbound) obeying single exponential decay. (E) Comparison of transition frequencies between encapsulated molecules and surface tethered partial-duplex with 3′-(dT)19 with 1-, 2.5-, 5-, and 10-μM RecA.
