Reductant | kcat, s−1 | KM, µM | kcat/KM, µM−1 s−1 |
Dithionite | 13.4±0.3 | 140±10 | 0.093±0.006 |
NADPH | 11.5±0.4 | 200±20 | 0.056±0.005 |
NADH | 8.4±0.9 | 690±150 | 0.012±0.001 |
Reactions were incubated at 37°C for 1 min in 25 mM Hepes, 125 mM NaCl pH 7.5, and terminated by heat denaturation at 95°C. Reactions were performed using saturating amounts of reductant (20 mM dithionite, 0.5 mM NADPH, and 2.5 mM NADH).
