TABLE 3.

Transient state kinetic constants for reduction of VPI of native enzyme and directed variants by VA and RB5

Shown are first-order rate constants (k2), equilibrium dissociation constants (Kd2) and apparent second-order rate constants (k2app). Hill equation used for RB5 k2 and Kd2 estimation due to sigmoidal kinetic curves (supplemental Fig. 4B). Means and 95% confidence limits.
