^a Least-squares non-linear regression was performed by using KyPlot [45].

^b Mechanisms 1 and 2 refer to Ping Pong Bi Bi kinetics allowing 5-aminosalicylic acid to act as an inhibitor of the enzyme·AcCoA complex (EA). Mechanism 1 also accounts for 5-aminosalicylic acid binding to the free enzyme (E). Mechanisms 3 and 4 are directly analogous to 1 and 2 respectively, however they refer to Ordered Bi Bi kinetics.

^c K values have dimensions of mM and den values are expressed in mM². α and β are defined in Table 1. Variance and statistical significance values were determined within KyPlot by Student's t test. ^†, P >= 0.05; *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001.
