Table 1. kcat of ATP or dATP hydrolysis by RecANg and RecAEc in the presence of Mg2+.

k cat of ATP hydrolysis [min−1]
RecANg RecAEc
10 mM Mg2+ 3 mM Mg2+ 10 mM Mg2+ 3 mM Mg2+
ATP 44.74 (±1.10) 51.21 (±3.77) 28.25 (±0.88) 31.67 (±1.59)
dATP 59.66 (±0.58) 63.46 (±1.23) 40.38 (±2.24) 45.23 (±1.47)

In all experiments the concentrations of RecA protein and M13mp18 css DNA are 10 µM and 5 µMnt, respectively. kcat was calculated over a linear range of rates from 4 to 14 minutes for all experiments. Time zero represents the addition of 3 mM ATP and 0.5 µM SSB. Averages and standard deviations were calculated from values from 3 independent experiments.
