BPH dox reactions were carried out as described in Materials and Methods. Substrate (100 nmol) was added to initiate each reaction. Numbers refer to the amounts of substrate consumed 5 min after initiation of the reactions. The values are averages of results from three separate experiments with two different enzyme preparations. The variance was less than 10% in all cases. −, no degradation; T, trace amounts of metabolite produced.
