- Values in parentheses represent the 95 % confidence intervals obtained from a genetic-algorithm Monte Carlo analysis. φ represents the anisotropy of the molecule, with a value close to 1.0 indicating a more compact and globular structure, while increasingly larger values reflect more extended shapes. Since the dimer concentration of the G537D/K540E mutant is negligible, the anisotropy of the dimer was not calculated. A K

for the G537D/K540E mutant at 150Â mM NaCl could not be detected (n.d.) because the sample was essential monomeric
