| Method |
a single stalled packaging complex was attached between a microsphere in an optical trap and a microsphere placed on the end of a micropipette. DNA outside the prohead decreases in length over time as it is reeled into the capsid against a constant external force of approximately 5 pN. ATP concentrations range from 5 to 1000 µM, with ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi) fixed at 5 µM each (the latter added to ensure a defined free energy of hydrolysis, ?G = ?G0 + kBT ln([ATP]/[ADP][Pi])). |
| Comments |
Hill coefficient of 1 implies that the binding of one ATP neither facilitates nor hinders the binding of another ATP. |
