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