Rates of FabH activity with branched substrates at 30°C and 10°C. (A) Rates of substrate hydrolysis and product formation with equal substrate concentrations (10 μM) at 30°C. IB-CoA is orange and its product purple; IV-CoA is black and its product red; 2MB-CoA is green and its product blue. Forward rates for the pre-kcat equilibrium varied from 0.1 s−1 to 10 s−1 and are color coded from light to dark. LmFabH concentration was 1 μM. Ac-CoA substrate is not shown as it is off scale for the duration of the experiment; its product is gray (at 0 μM). (B) Rates of substrate hydrolysis and product formation with equal substrate concentrations (10 μM) at 10°C. IB-CoA is orange and its product purple; IV-CoA is black and its product red; 2MB-CoA is green and its product blue. Forward rates for the pre-kcat equilibrium were set to 10 s−1. LmFabH concentration was 1 μM.
