Mean values and standard deviations from three independent triplicate determinations. Enzyme preparations, acyl chain donors, and further assay conditions used are given in the text.
P< 0.0001, cP = 0.1327, dP = 0.1325, eP = 0.0267 (these P values refer to the comparison of different substrates in the same enzymatic assay; two-tailed P values from Student's unpaired t-test).
