Best-fit values are followed by 95% CIs in parentheses. The Sept and McCammon (9) values are also reported in Table 1, column 4. The data in column 3 come from fits to the experiments in Fig. 1B. The data in column 4 come from fits to the experiments in Fig. 1E. The data in column 5 come from the fits to experiments in Fig. 2. All fitted parameters in columns 3–6 are practically identifiable.
