Table 1. Buffer Dependence of Nitrocefin Hydrolysis by BlaCa.
| buffer | kcat (s–1) | Km (μM) | kcat/Km (× 105 M–1 s–1) |
|---|---|---|---|
| NaPi pH 6.0 | 107 ± 6 | 147 ± 14 | 7.3 ± 0.4 |
| NaPi pH 7.0 | 64 ± 6 | 153 ± 23 | 4.2 ± 0.2 |
| MES pH 6.0 | 69 ± 1 | 38 ± 7 | 18 ± 3 |
| BIS-TRIS pH 6.0 | 83 ± 3 | 61 ± 7 | 14 ± 1 |
Buffer concentrations were each 100 mM. Errors represent the standard deviation over triplicate measurements.
