Box Plot from Scientific Research

Transcriptional rates were determined from the linear fit during the linear growth phase of fluorescence increase due to MB binding to the transcribed RNA (Supplementary Dataset 4 and Supplementary Fig. 2b,c ). All rates relate to the transcriptional rate of the nanoengine. Column I, NTS; column II, intermolecular transcription rate from the dsDNA-t incubated with HT–T7RNAP; column III, nanoengine lacking the chloroalkane linker; column IV, nanoengine (I: n = 14, -0.06 ± 0.12, min = -0.38, max = 0.04, median = 0.00; II: n = 32; 0.16 ± 0.15, min = -0.14, max = 1.48, median= 0.16; III: n = 38, 0.19 ± 0.26, min = -0.42, max = 0.70, median = 0.18; IV: n = 40, 1.00 ± 0.12, min = 0.52, max = 1.48 median = 1.00. *** P = 3.0 x 10 -23 ).
