For AAC(2’) and AAC(3), this concentration is 5 mM.
For AAC(2’) this concentration is 1.67 mM while for AAC(3) this concentration is 1 mM.
The fluorescence intensity for binding to 5 for the aminoglycoside incubated with a cell lysate without the resistance-causing enzyme and with the resistance-causing enzyme are within error.
