a

Specific activity (µmol NADH oxidized per minute per mg enzyme) was measured at 22–23 °C with 200 µM NADH and 120 µM FAD.

b

Duplicate entries represent experiments with independent preparations of NOX. The experimental errors of replicate measurements of the quantum yield with the same preparation were approximately ±0.002 for FAD and ±0.01 for Trp.

c

Flavin fluorescence for these constructs was too low to measure QFAD reliably.
