Parameters obtained by global nonlinear least-square analysis of the sedimentation velocity data using a model of sequential binding of two protein monomers. The values in parentheses represent the 95% joint confidence intervals obtained using the F-statistic.
Root-mean-square deviation in absorbance units.
The maximum fractional concentration of the active species containing two PKRs bound to a single RNA at [PKR] = 200 nM.
Confidence intervals could not be obtained.
