n.a. indicates substrate-enzyme combinations that showed no activity. n.a.* represents samples that were active but could not be measured due to extensively reduced reactivity and increased Km values in combination with limited substrate solubility. Measurements were performed in triplicates. The numbers represent mean values ± one standard deviation.
