  1. Donor-acceptor distances (RDA) for SUL25/Sin Q115R complexes in the presence and absence of Mg2+, and UL25/Tn3 NM complexes with no Mg2+, were calculated using the Förster equation using values of E obtained from HaMMy (TIRF) or Gaussian fitting (MFD). The Forster radii used were, for Atto 532/ Cy5, R0 = 67.4 Å50,51; for Alexa 488/ Cy5, R0 = 51.4 Å52,53; and for Cy3B/ Cy5, R0 = 67 Å54. <RDA>E is the FRET-averaged distance between the dyes, resulting from integrating overall possible FRET efficiencies determined through AV simulation of various fluorophore positions modelled on crystal structures of γδ-resolvase7,9. Standard deviations (given in parentheses) in experimental values of E were determined through clustering analysis of the transition density plots in MASH-FRET34 or were determined by AV simulation.
