Kinetic Parameters for rS-HPCDH3 and rR-HPCDH1 catalyzed oxidation of 2-butanola

Substrate Km (mM) Vmax (units/mg) kcat (s-1) kcat/Km (M-1 s-1) Change in kcat (x-fold) Change in Km (x-fold) enantioselectivity (E)
rS-HPCDH3

(R)-2-butanol 68 ± 3 2.2 ± 0.03 1.0 14.8 1.0 1.0 0.16
(S)-2-butanol 28 ± 2 5.8 ± 0.07 2.6 92.8 2.6 0.4 6.3

rR-HPCDH1

(R)-2-butanol 220 ± 10 3.77 ± 0.06 1.9 8.69 1.0 1.0 0.33
(S)-2-butanol 350 ± 50 18.8 ± 0.9 9.3 26.4 5.0 1.6 3.0

aAll assays were performed in triplicate at 30 °C with fixed concentrations of NAD+ (10 mM). Assays of 2-butanol oxidation catalyzed by rS-HPCDH3 and rR-HPCDH1 contained 25 and 21 μg of enzyme, respectively. Apparent kinetic constants were determined by fitting experimental data to the standard form of the Michaelis-Menten equation. Apparent Vmax and Km values are reported as means ± standard deviations. All other values are reported as means only. Enantioselectivity was defined as (kcat/Km)R-enantiomer/(kcat/Km)S-enantiomer for (R)-2-butanol oxidation and as (kcat/Km)S-enantiomer/(kcat/Km)R-enantiomer for (S)-2-butanol oxidation.
