The values Inline graphic and Inline graphic measure the goodness of the fit for the two-component and one-component models, respectively (42).

*

From the one-component model.

From the two-component model.

R, mixing molar fraction of dsDNA to total DNA; Y, fraction of Cy5-labeled oligo forming duplex; Bias, Y-R; 〈τr〉, mean relaxation time; τd, diffusion time; β, stretch parameter.
