Figure 2

Effects of UV irradiation at different exposure times on ADHR1 self-cleavage efficiency. Fractions of self-cleavage products at equilibrium (FUV) are weighted on fractions at equilibrium calculated for the control reactions (F), and plotted versus times of UV exposure in minutes. Solid line, : self-cleavage data from UV-irradiated ADHR1 free in aqueous solution. Dotted line, ▲ : self-cleavage data from UV-irradiated ADHR1 in the presence of montmorillonite particles.
