a. The dependence of the DnaT fluorescence anisotropy upon the total DnaT monomer concentration (λex = 296 nm, λem = 347 nm) in buffer C (pH 7.0, 25°C) containing different concentrations of glycerol (w/v): Inline graphic 10 %, Inline graphic 15 %, Inline graphic 20 %, and Inline graphic 25 %. The solid lines are the nonlinear least-squares fits of the titration curves, using the trimer model described by eqs. 3 - 7 (accompanying paper). b. The dependence of the DnaT fluorescence anisotropy upon the total DnaT monomer concentration (λex = 296 nm, λem = 347 nm) in buffer C (pH 7.0, 25 °C) containing 0.1 mM EDTA and no magnesium, and different concentrations of glycerol (w/v): Inline graphic 10 %, Inline graphic 15 %, Inline graphic 20 %, and Inline graphic 25 %. The solid lines are the nonlinear least-squares fits of the titration curves, using the trimer model described by eqs. 3 - 7 (accompanying paper). c. The dependences of the trimerization constant, KT, upon the water concentration in the sample in the presence Inline graphic and absence Inline graphic of magnesium, respectively. The solid lines are linear least-squares fits with the slopes: ∂logKT/∂log[H2O] = 0 in the presence of Mg2+ and ∂logKT/∂log[H2O] = 11.1 in the absence of Mg2+, respectively (details in text).
