Table 1.

The apparent rate constants for the wild-type and mutant thioesterase catalysis of multiple and single turnover hydrolysis of 4-HB-CoA as measured using stopped-flow UV-vis absorbance spectroscopy (sf) and rapid quench (rq) techniques. All entries that are not designated were measured using stopped-flow UV-vis absorbance spectroscopy. Biphasic time courses were fitted to a double exponential equation and single phase time courses were fitted to a single exponential equation.

These error limits are based on the standard deviation of three individual measurements. All of the other error limits shown are based on the fit to a single representative data set.
