The Km values were generally determined at 25 °C under saturating conditions of the invariant substrate and the Vmax values were determined by an extrapolation of the velocity vs. the concentration of CDNB to infinite concentrations using SigmaPlot for data analysis. The data presented are the averages of at least two trials.
The concentration of GSH used for the determination of the KmCDNB was 25 mM.
The concentration of CDNB used in the determination of the KmGSH was 3 mM.
