a From Ref. 29.

b From Ref. 30.

c From the hyperbolic fit of the data from spectral deconvolution of exhaustive turnover reactions of xanthine oxidase with hypoxanthine in the present work. Kinetics of hypoxanthine is followed by its consumption, and kinetics of xanthine is followed by production of uric acid.

d From the linear fit of the data from spectral deconvolution of exhaustive turnover reactions in the present work.
