Initial velocities were measured at 25 °C in the presence of 100 mM phosphate at pH 7.5. The kcat and KM were calculated from the least squares fit of the experimental data from the different substrates to the Michaelis-Menten equation. The values indicated are the mean of experiments performed at least in triplicate ± SEM.
