Specific activities were measured by spectrophotometric coupled-enzyme assay with 100 µM substrate and 1 mM ATP except for substrates marked with an asterisk (measured at 10 µM substrate concentration under vmax conditions). Experiments were performed in triplicates. Percentage in parentheses is relative activity of fluorescent analog over non-fluorescent analog.
