  1. The percentage numbers in brackets denote the H3K9me3 modification density. MN denotes mononucleosomes, n is number of replicates.
  2. *The Kds are calculated based on the fast kinetic phase of the dissociation process.
  3. n indicates the number of independent HP1α injections, n′ indicates the number of flow cells used.
  4. Due to insufficient statistics, τoff,2 is poorly defined.
  5. §Due to insufficient statistics we cannot accurately determine association kinetics with λon>100 s.
  6. ||kon is calculated per molecule of HP1αcdm.
