Relative activity values expressed as a percentage of the total specific activity as measured with MMPA (100%). All standard errors are from three independent experiments and are within 3%. Specific activities in units mg−1 of protein (±SE) defined as 100% were as follows: PU_DmdB1, 28 ± 1; RPO_DmdB1, 15 ± 3; RPO_DmdB2, 17 ± 3; RL_DmdB1, 24 ± 2; RL_DmdB2, 16 ± 2; PA_DmdB1, 32 ± 2; and BTH_DmdB2, 25 ± 4.
