Values are mean ± S.D. from three determinations.

  • 5-a  The unit ofVmax is pmol/min/mg protein.

  • 5-b  The unit ofVmax/Km is μl/min/mg protein.

  • 5-c  Corrected forfu.

  • 5-dp < 0.05 compared with the control value (BSA = 0%).

  • 5-ep < 0.05 compared with the corresponding value of each BSA concentration.
