Relative measured condensation propensities from Figure 1 and average numbers of bound CoHex ions in each binding shell shown in Figure 3. 100% neutralization would correspond to 16 bound CoHex counterions
| DNA (dA:dT) | DNA | HYB | RNA | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Condensation propensity | highest | high | low | lowest |
| External shell ions | 9.8 | 8.6 | 3.4 | 2.0 |
| Internal shell ions | 4.6 | 4.2 | 8.0 | 9.4 |
| Deeply buried ions | 0.1 | 1.6 | 2.7 | 3.3 |
| Duplex neutralization | 91% | 90% | 88% | 92% |
