ND, not determined.

a

Values Tm (± 2 °C) in 1×DPBS and determined by UV spectroscopy.

b

Per active-site values of kcat/KM (± SE) for catalysis of 6-FAM–dArU(dA)2–6-TAMRA cleavage in 1×DPBS containing BSA (0.1 mg/mL) at (20 ± 2) °C. 6-FAM–dArUdGdA–6-TAMRA was the substrate for ONC and (S72C ONC)38.

c

Per active-site values of Kd′ (± SE) for the complex with RI at (20 ± 2) °C.

d

Per molecule values of IC50 (± SE) for incorporation of [methyl-3H]thymidine into the DNA of K-562 cells exposed to a ribonuclease and calculated with eq 3.

e

Per active-site values of IC50 calculated by multiplying the IC50 value by the number of monomers in the conjugate.

f

From ref (64).

g

From ref (45).

h

From ref (37) and determined by circular dichroism spectroscopy.

i

Value of Ki from ref (12).
