Table 1. Steady-state enzyme kinetics parameters for the activity of lpPAH at the selected conditions.

V max a K m(L-Phe)a K m(BH4)b C 0.5(Fe(II))c
µmol L-Tyr ⋅ min−1 ⋅ mg−1 µM µM µM

a

Measured at 200 µM BH4 in L-Phe saturation curves.

b

Measured at 1 mM L-Phe in BH4 saturation curves.

c

Concentration of Fe(II) that provides half-maximal activity, measured in the range 0–50 µM Fe(II).
