Values in parentheses correspond to kcat/KM values determined from the slopes of linear fits to initial-rate kinetic data substrate concentrations well below saturation (see Fig. S6 to S9); individual KM and kcat values were not calculated.

b

Kinetic parameters were obtained by fitting a modified Michaelis-Menten equation including a term for substrate inhibition.
