  1. aMethods: TYR: measured using intrinsic Tyr fluorescence enhancement; PiFQ, measured by monitoring the quenching of bimane fluorescence by a nearby Trp residue; ITC, isothermal titration calorimetry; GFP, measured using the SpEgtUC-GFP fusion protein; NMR, measured by monitoring chemical shift perturbations by NMR spectroscopy. Conditions for NMR: 10 mM sodium phosphate pH 7.0, 150 mM NaCl, 35.0 °C. Conditions for all other methods: 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM EDTA, 25.0 °C, with the parameter values from two or three independent experiments shown as the mean and standard deviation.
  2. bBinding affinity too low (c value = 1.2) for accurate ∆H and ∆S fitting under these conditions.
