a

The concentration of each component in this experiment, when present as indicated, was: 1 µM DNA, 2 µM KF, and 400 µM dGTP.

b

This upper dwell time limit for unbound DNA events was calculated as the time below which 98% of events occurred when the DNA hairpin was in the cis chamber absent KF and dGTP (Figure 5a).

c

An upper dwell time limit (75.22 ms) for binary complex events was defined as the time below which 98% of the events that exceed the first boundary of 5.61 ms occur, when both DNA and KF were present (Figure 5b).
