Only flavonols were accepted as sugar acceptor substrates.
Kinetic parameters were determined at pH 9.1 with the appropriate UDP-sugar (1.0 mM), as described in Methods.
Kinetic parameters were determined at pH 7.0, as described in Methods.
100 μM quercetin was used as the sugar acceptor.
Km value was too large to be determined precisely.
