Single molecule velocities and run lengths were measured as described in the Materials and Methods. n is the number of events that were scored for each mutant. Errors were determined by bootstrapping and are reported as 1 SD. All measurements were repeated on two separate preparations and agreed within error. The numbers reported here are derived from a single fit of all measured data. Observed run lengths were corrected for photobleaching as described in the Materials and Methods. For all mutants, the probability was <10−4 that the measured run lengths were distributed the same as the wild-type run lengths (determined using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test).
