a

Dissociation constants (Kd) and single-turnover rate constants for 5mC (kst) excision were measured at 25 °C, pH 8.5, and 170 mM ionic strength using a 25mer DNA duplex containing 5mC and end-labeled with fluorescein. Enzyme concentration was saturating (10 μM) in activity assays. Values are reported as averages ± SD from at least three experiments. Relative binding affinities calculated as (Kd WT)/(Kd Mutant); Relative to WT rates calculated as (kst Mutant)/(kst WT).

b

Activity is below limit of detection.
