DNA, KF, dGTP | 50 | 269 | 39.42% | 11.3% | 49.28% |
DNA, KF, dGTP | 10 | 1052 | 82.36% | 7.15% | 10.49% |
DNA, KF, dGTP | 7.5 | 670 | 91.55% | 5.54% | 2.92% |

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