EaCoMT activity in cell extracts of strains mc2155(pMV-CoM) and mc2155(pMV261)
| Substrate | EaCoMT activity (nmol/min/mg of protein)a,b (n)
|
|
|---|---|---|
| mc2155(pMV-CoM) | mc2155(pMV261) | |
| Epoxyethane | 615 ± 98 (6) | 12 ± 20 (3) |
| Epoxypropane | 143 ± 23 (4) | 1 ± 3 (4) |
a
Averages and standard deviations derived from several independent experiments.
b
Activities calculated from substrate depletion rate, after subtraction of abiotic rates of substrate loss in controls without cell extract. The abiotic rates of epoxyethane and epoxypropane loss were 13 ± 2 and 12 ± 2 nmol/min, respectively.
