The kinetic parameters were determined using rate equation models as listed above using GRAFIT v3.0 (Erithacus Software Ltd). Values in parentheses represent standard error values.
↵2-a The data set at the highest testosterone concentration is excluded from the fit to model 1C because there is a combination of activation and inhibition occurring at the high concentrations suggesting a competitive process, as described by model 1B.
↵2-b Assuming that the catalytic sites are equivalent, β is equal to 2 in the equation and cancels out because Vmax is equal to 2Kp/[E]t, where [E]t is the total enzyme concentration.
