a

Kss, substrate inhibition constant (20).

b

Values are given relative to protein content. As BphC1 contains only about 12% ± 4% Fe2+ per subunit, the values of kcat, kcat/Km, and the partition ratio can be assumed to be underestimated by a factor of 6 to 12.

c

Values are given relative to protein content. As BphC2 contains about 70% ± 5% Fe2+ per subunit, the values of kcat, kcat/Km, and the partition ratio can be assumed to be underestimated by a factor of 1.4.

d

Mean±standard deviation.
