a In Rosetta energy units (REU); optimized to correlate with kcal/mol.
b IC50 values in this study are normalized relative to the binding of wild-type C. thermocellum cohesin to C. thermocellum dockerin (i.e. 1.1, first row).
c Reported in Ref. 26.
d The standard error of the mean of logarithmic values of IC50 exceeds the half-log value for this measure.
e Very weak binding could not be fitted and was therefore assigned ΔΔG values of >4 kcal/mol corresponding to the largest measured concentration.
f Measured also previously by enzyme-linked interaction assay (29).
g Measured by isothermal titration calorimetry (65).
