Protein alone concentrations range from 1 to 5 µM in 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM sodium cacodylate pH 7.5, 10 mM DTT, room temperature.
250 mM NaCl only. RNA concentrations were 1 µM, and protein concentrations were adjusted to saturate the binding ([P]/[R] = 1 for HCV X SL3; [P]/[R] = 2 or HCV X and GABA RNA 11). Data acquired on a time-correlated single photon counting instrument, and analyzed with PicoQuant FluoFit. Steady state fluorescence spectra were collected before and after time-resolved experiments. <τ> values from Supplementary Table.
