UV-Visible spectra of all samples were measured using a U-3900 spectrophotometer (Hitachi). During Nickel-Nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) affinity chromatography, fractions were analysed by UV-Visible spectroscopy to determine the A410/A280 ratio (the so-called Rz value). Fractions with an Rz value ³ of 0.5 were collected and used for subsequent purification. After size exclusion chromatography, fractions with an Rz value ³ of 0.7 were concentrated and subsequently used for cryoEM analysis.
