Kinetic properties were determined by measuring the initial time-dependent substrate consumption at 234 nm at different substrate concentrations typically ranging from 2–100 μM. For analysis between 20 and 30 data points data points were fitted to the Michaelis-Menten equation. Note that the PpAOS2-concentration used for incubations with 12-HPETE was different (1 nM) from those used for incubations with the other substrates (100 nM). Kcat values are corrected to 100% heme occupancy from the ~4% heme content in the enzyme preparation.
