Values are calculated from the steady-state kinetic equation (2) described in Methods, using the NMNAT isozyme activities measured at saturating substrates (Figure 3C) as V max values, the NMN and ATP levels (nmol/g, Figure 4) as micromolar concentrations, and the K m values from [18]; nd, not detectable.
