a

The indicated values represent means and standard deviations obtained from three determinations. O2 consumption was corrected for the background activity observed in the absence of substrate.

b

Each value is the ratio of the rate of substrate consumption to the average rate of O2 consumption over the duration of the assay.

c

O2 concentrations without a substrate were measured by using catalase during the reaction as a negative control, and the oxygen concentration did not increase under any conditions.

d

ND, not determined.
