Data are shown as mean ± SD, n = 3 independent experiments.
Free Zn2+ is the zinc concentration measured in the post-dialysis buffer sample; total Zn2+ is the concentration measured in the post-dialysis protein sample; PLC-Zn2+ is total Zn2+ less free Zn2+.
LmPLC protein concentration was measured with BCA protein assay [17].
