a

CAX (0.5%) was degraded by 0.5 μM concentrations of each enzyme at 37°C. The second enzyme was added immediately after the end of the incubation period of the first reaction.

b

The values are the averages of three determinations. The number in parentheses indicates standard deviation.

c

Synergy is as described in Table 1.
