Apparent equilibrium dissociation constants (Kd_apparent) were calculated for each dsRNA size and pH by fitting kinetic data from SPR experiments to a simple single-step binding model (A+B ↔ AB). See SI Table 2 for a similar analysis using a cooperative binding model. The standard error associated with each calculation is indicated.
