Measurement of the dissociation rate constant 0.05 mM p-dsDNA-T7 RNAP complex (0.05 mM T7 RNAP + 0.1 mM -4T 2-AP p-dsDNA) with 2 mM non-fluorescent p-dsDNA in a standard fluorescence cuvette. Time-dependent fluorescence decrease at 370 nm (upon excitation at 315 nm) was monitored (circles). The fluorescence decrease was fit to Eqn. 6 that provided koff of 0.00034 s-1 (solid line). Thus the overall Kd (= koff/kon) of T7 RNAP-p-dsDNA complex is 1.3 pM.
