Table 4.

Kinetic parameters of racemase and β-lyase reactions.

Reaction Substrate kcat (s-1) Km (mM) kcat/Km (s-1 mM-1)
Racemase L-Ala 2.31 ± 0.51 × 103 169 ± 27 13.7
Racemase D-Ala 1.83 ± 0.15 × 103 150 ± 24 12.2
β-Lyase L-Cys 9.30 ± 2.05 × 102 11.5 ± 1.1 80.9

Enzyme assay was performed at pH 10.0 and 40°C (racemase reaction) or 35°C (β-lyase reaction). Kinetic parameters were calculated with triplicate measurements.
