Equilibrium swelling ratio and fitting curve of the a Base Gel and b NINA_10_24. c Difference in the equilibrium swelling ratio between two redox states at 20 °C observed from the fitted data (details are provided in the Supplementary Information). The oxidized state was conditioned with the substrate solution containing [HNO3] = 894 mM and [NaBrO3] = 84 mM. The reduced state was realized with the substrate solution containing [HNO3] = 894 mM, [NaCl] = 84 mM, and [MA] = 64 mM.
