a

Values for wild-type GlnRS are taken from ref 26.

b

Numbers in parentheses designate the fold diminution from wild-type for kcat, kcat/Km, and kobs, and the fold elevation from wild-type for Km and Kd.

c

No saturation with glutamine could be observed at concentrations up to 70 mM.

d

Reproducible measurements of kobs and Kd [GLN] could not be made, possibly due to aggregation of the protein.
