For ANS competition, the values given are IC50 obtained by fitting data to equation 2 described in Material and Methods.

For MUA competition, the values given are Ki obtained by fitting data to noncompetitive or competitive inhibition of esterase activity in the presence of 0 to 10 mM inhibitor.

The apparent Ki values were calculated by nonlinear regression using the competitive or noncompetitive inhibitions equations described in Material and Methods (r2>0.99). Data are represented as mean ± S.D. (n±3). ND: Not determined since no competition was observed with GSH for ANS and MUA.
