The kcat, KM and k1 values were measured as described in Materials and Methods in Standard Buffer (10 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.50±0.02 at 20°C, 200 mM KCl, 2.5 mM MgCl2)

a

The errors represent the standard error of two independent experiments

b

The reported uncertainties were calculated using standard error propagation

c

The errors represent the uncertainties in the linear regression of the kobs versus [apoBCC87] profiles.

d

N.D.-Not Determined because these variants were incapable of catalyzing bio-5’-AMP synthesis.
