Fexch and Uexch are the folded and unfolded subpopulations under non-denaturing conditions.
The population-weighted average RG was calculated using Eq. 5 with the fractions obtained by fitting the smFRET histograms (Table 2).
The RG of the folded state was measured by SAXS (48) and adjusted for the presence of dye linkers (Section S5 in the Supporting Material).
