Oxidative half-reaction of OYE-T37A vs. the wild-type enzyme

Kd, μM
kox, s−1
Ratio of kox (T37A/Wild type)
T37A Wild type T37A Wild type
2-Cyclohexenone* (CHX) (1) 28 32 298 102 2.9
3-Methyl-2-CHX (2) 50 64 0.17 0.062 2.7
1,2-Cyclohexanedione (3) 570 520 100 32 3.1
Cinnamaldehyde (CNA) (4) 105 125 77 17 4.5
α-methyl-trans-CNA (5) 11 8.6 256 34 7.5
3-Penten-2-one (6) 590 430 50.9 15.6 3.3
Mesityl oxide (7) 250 ≥1,000 0.261 ∼0.03 9.0
3-Methyl-2-butenal (8) 47 70 3.0 1.7 1.8
Crotonaldehyde (M−1 s−1) (9) 3.4 × 105 1.6 × 105 2.1
Molecular oxygen* (M−1 s−1) 1.0 × 105 3.8 × 103 26
1-Nitrocyclohexene (M−1 s−1) (11) 2.5 × 106 6.1 × 105 4.1

The Kd values and rate constants given were obtained by analysis of at least four duplicate reactions at each concentration of oxidant studied and which varied by less than 5%. The values given therefore have corresponding associated error limits.
