Gemcitabine substrate kinetics for WT and variant DCK allozymes and gemcitabine monophosphate substrate kinetics for CMPK were measured in the presence of 1 mM ATP. Values represent mean ± SEM (n ≥ 6).
Indicates a statistically significant difference from the WT allozyme (P < 0.025 by Student’s t-test).
