Cooperativity constants for binding Tel11-A6-Tel11

Protein K2 (×1018 M−2) K1 (×109 M−1) Inline graphic ΔGcoop (kcal/mol)
Cdc13 7350 52 671 −1.3

K1 and K2 are the macroscopic binding constants as described by Senear and Brenowitz (41).

Positive cooperativity is indicated by K2 > Inline graphic. ΔGcoop is the free energy of cooperativity, calculated with the assumption that the two binding sites are equivalent. The numbers shown are the mean of values solved for three independent data sets.
