Mean values and standard deviations are calculated from triplicate experiments conducted at room temperature.
Derived from heme spin shift experiments; nd = not determined.
Rates are measured over initial 60 s in 50 mM potassium phosphate (KPi) (pH 8.0) and expressed as mole product per mole P450 per minute.
Ratio between product formation rate and NADPH consumption rate in the presence of MCL.
Reactions in 1 M KPi buffer (pH 8.0).
