Table 1.

Experimental determination of cis- or trans-topology of several NBD-labeled mutants using fluorescence lifetime quenching with LysoUB (22). τi and αi are individual lifetime components; τα and τ0 are amplitude-averaged lifetimes in the presence and in the absence of LysoUB quencher. Cis and Trans topologies are assigned based on the value of τα / τ0 ratio based on the hallmarks established in a model study (22).
