Rates of annealing or strand transfer (k_obs values)^a

Protein	Annealing (min−1)	Strand transfer (min−1)
NCp7 (0.8 μM)	0.18 ±0.008b	0.047 ±0.015
NCp15 (0.8 μM)	0.35 ±0.029	0.093 ±0.019
NCp9 (0.8 μM)	n.d.c,d	0.22 ±0.055
NCp9 (0.2 μM)	0.23 ±0.032	nd.e

^aRates were determined by fitting the data from Figure 5B (annealing) and 5C (strand transfer) to a single exponential equation. The data represent the average of results obtained from at least three independent experiments.

^bThe error determinations represent the SD.

^cn.d., not determined.

^dRate was too fast to measure accurately at concentrations > 0.2 μM.

^eRate was too slow to measure accurately at 0.2 μM.
