a

Melting curves were obtained by CD at pH 7.5, and melting temperature was estimated by four-parameter logistic regression of the melting curve.

b

The temperature where half of the enzyme activity was lost (T50) was measured at pH 7.5, and the reported data are the mean values ± standard deviations (SD) from three independent experiments.

c

Optimal temperature (Topt) was determined at pH 8.0 for mFMO and mFMO_20.

d

Optimal pH for TMA conversion was determined at 22°C.

e

Steady-state kinetic measurements were performed with various concentrations of TMA (Sigma-Aldrich) as the substrate and a fixed NADPH concentration (200 μM) at 23°C, pH 8.0. Reported data are the mean values ± SD from two biological replicates.
