a

kcatDHF and KmDHF are the turnover number and Michaelis constant with DHF as substrate measured in the presence of 100 μM NADPH and varying concentrations of DHF

b

kcatNADPH and KmNADPH are the turnover number and Michaelis constant with NADPH as substrate, measured in the presence of 100 μM DHF and varying concentrations of NADPH.

c

h-KIE is the heavy enzyme KIE, calculated by taking the ratio between the kinetic parameter of l-DHFR and the same parameter of h-DHFR.
