Results are the average ± confidence interval calculated for p=0.05 of 3–4 independent experiments done in duplicate. N.D., not detectable above background; maximum fluorescence was less than twice the zero product value, corresponding to 7-HFC production rates <0.05 min−1 or resorufin production rates <0.1 min−1.

a

kcat is a representation of nmoles of product produced per minute per nmole of CYP enzyme in the reaction.

b

Global fitting of data from three experiments was used due to the very low turnover of 7-EFC. Therefore the mean and standard deviation refer to the fit to the Michaelis-Menten equation not differences among experiments.
