Kinetic constants were spectrophotometrically analyzed by determining the initial rate of product formation at 234nm at different substrate concentrations. All experiments were performed in 50 mM Tris/HCl pH 8.0 at room temperature using a Varian Cary 300. The results are presented as mean values ± standard deviation derived from triplicate measurements.
