Table 4. Effect of fluoride/chloride leaving group substitution on the rate of catalysis.

The ratio of catalytic rates for the conjugation reaction catalysed by wild-type and engineered GSTs using GSH and CDNB or FDNB as co-substrates. One-way ANOVA with Dunnett's multiple comparison test was performed with wild-type as control; statistical significance is shown by † for P<0.05, ‡ for P<0.01 and § for P<0.001.
