Table 1.
Dimerization free energies, ΔG, and Intrinsic FRET efficiencies , obtained from least-square parameter fits to the single-vesicle FRET data for the different VEGFR-2 constructs studied here. d is the distance between the fluorescent proteins in the dimers, calculated from the the Intrinsic FRET values under the assumption of free fluorescent protein rotation. The uncertainties are 67% confidence intervals (standard errors) calculated from the fit in Matlab.
