a

[Host 1] = 0.4 mM.

b

Average values based on at least three determinations.

c

Errors were propagated from the relative errors of each of the anions (SI Section 4.A.f).

d

10 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.3 (I = 21.0 mM).

e

23.8 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 3.0 (I = 21.0 mM).

f

10 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH = 3.0 (I = 8.8 mM).

g

The measured binding was too weak to determine accurately.
