Kinetic parameters of PH

Substrate Km, μM Vmax, μmol· min−1⋅mg−1 Vmax/Km
Purine 4.0 1.0 0.25
Hypoxanthine 5.0 2.0 0.40
2OH-purine 50 1.3 0.026
Allopurinol 40 1.3 0.033
Benzaldehyde 200 0.7 0.004

The approximate Km value was estimated by using a Michaelis–Menten plot and confirmed experimentally after this determination. The Vmax was estimated from a Michaelis–Menten plot.
