  1. Summary tables detailing the fluorescence lifetimes and χ2/degrees of freedom (goodness of fit metric) for the purified proteins used in the FRET cascade model. FRET efficiencies, Forster radii (R0), separation distance (R) and their respective SEM are also presented. N = 9 measurements, cells per condition across three separate technical repeats.
