Protein names denoted as in Fig. S6.

a

The pre-transition baseline was poorly defined for this protein. Thus, its slope was set to zero to aid curve fitting.

b

The two domains of the tandem R1516 α-spectrin construct unfold sequentially. However, this behaviour is not detected in equilibrium denaturant titrations (which appear 2-state). Thus, a 2-state equation was used for curve fitting only to allow the comparison of apparent [Denaturant]50% and mD–N values obtained using different titration strategies.
