  1. * Data from D'Alagni M, et al., 1994 [15]. For experimental problems, see Additional file 3, Table S3.
  2. † 103θ values obtained with 4.6 μ M UCB have been multiplied by a factor, 34/4.6, to render them comparable with 103θ values obtained at 34 μ M UCB.
  3. ‡ fsHB- and fsB=, fractions of total UCB bound to TC as monoanion and dianion respectively, calculated utilizing the partition ratios of each UCB species in water [4] and 50 mM TC [21], plus fitted 103θ values for bound HB- and B=, derived from modeling the experimental changes in 103θ with pH, as described in the text.
