UV kinetic studies for the hydrolysis of TA (a) with EPC but without CdCl₂; (b) with both EPC and CdCl₂, corresponding fitting: C_{TA, EPC} = 0.22*exp(−t/6.43), R² = 0.991; (c) with both ESP and CdCl₂, corresponding fitting: C_{TA, ESP} = 0.23*exp(−t/5.95), R² = 0.995; and (d) with both WCP and CdCl₂, corresponding fitting: C_{TA, WCP} = 0.20*exp(−t/1.03), R² = 0.943; (e) with just CdCl₂ but without protein, corresponding fitting: C_{TA, DI} = 0.21*exp(−t/0.88), R² = 0.915.

EPC: engineered P22 procapsid, ESP: engineered scaffolding protein, WCP: wild-type coat protein. (n = 3 independent experiments, error bars represent ± S.D).
