Effects of TFE on folding properties of WT and ΔN-KcsA in a PC:PA (7:3 mol%) lipid bilayer

Sample Wavelength (nm)a K SV (M−1)b
TFE (vol%) 0 5 10 20 30 0 5 10 20 30
WTc 320 320 320 321.5 321.5 3 ± 0.6 2.6 ± 0.8 2.5 ± 1.2 2.7 ± 0.8 8.0 ± 1.8
∆Nd 320 320 320 320 320 2.2 ± 0.7 2.8 ± 1 4.5 ± 0.8 6.5 ± 2.3 7 ± 1.6

aParameters were derived from Trp fluorescence data shown in Fig. 3b

bThe Stern–Volmer quenching constants were derived from the slopes of the linear regression lines from plots of F 0 /F = 1 + K SV [Q]. All values are the means ± SD of three experiments

cThe values for WT in PC:PA (7:3) were derived from the previously published work (Raja et al. 2007)

dThe values were derived from Trp fluorescence emission spectra and acrylamide quenching plots (data not shown)
