a

For OMPDC-catalyzed decarboxylation at 25 °C, pH 7.1 (30 mM MOPS), and ionic strength of 0.105 (NaCl).

b

The effect of the point mutation on (ΔG)OMP for decarboxylation of OMP catalyzed by the precursor enzyme, calculated from the ratio of values of kcat/Km for the precursor and mutant enzymes.

c

The sum of the effects of the Q215A, Y217F, and R235A mutations on (ΔΔGX)OMP.

d

The enzyme that was mutated is given in parentheses.
