30. x,y were titrated against Q (the complement of Q) in the same way. We estimate an error of 10% in determining relative concentrations. Absolute concentrations were checked by UV absorption measurements. Reaction conditions for all experiments described were T = 20 °C in 1 M NaCl, pH 6.5 sodium phosphate buffer.
31. x,0 which have only internal toeholds, there are deviations from second-order reaction kinetics: these catalysts can bind only to unreacted QL′ complexes (not to the LL′ product), so the catalyst concentration effectively increases as the reaction proceeds.
