Substrate specificity of rEmi2 for different hexoses.

Substrate	Relative specific activity (%)
Glucose	100
Fructose	120 ± 7.2
2-Deoxyglucose	99 ± 1.5
Glucosamine	62 ± 1.9
Mannose	43 ± 8.0
N -acetylglucosamine	N.D.
Galactose	N.D.
L-Fucose	N.D.

The specific activities for glucose, fructose, 2-deoxyglucose, glucosamine, mannose, N -acetylglucosamine, galactose and L-fucose were measured. Values were normalized to that of glucose as 100 %. The assay was repeated three times and the standard deviation (±) was calculated from each value of relative specific activities. N.D. , not determined under this condition.
