Dependence of kPCET on buffer concentration for photoβ2s alone (
), or in the presence of wt-α2 (
), or Y731F-α2 (
). kPCET was calculated according to Eq. 2. Triplicate sets of independently prepared samples contained 10 μM Y356- or Y356F-photoβ2, 25 μM wt-α2 or Y731F-α2, 1 mM CDP, 3 mM ATP in assay buffer containing 15 mM MgSO4, 1 mM EDTA, and 50, 100, 150, or 500 mM HEPES buffer adjusted to pH 7.6.
