The capital letters in parentheses indicate the method used to obtain the value: A, measured directly under initial rate conditions; B, competitive inhibition; C, calculated (see text); D, residual activity measurements (reactivation); E, reporter substrate; F, measured directly in partial inactivation experiments. 

b

ND, not determined. 

c

—, not applicable.
