  • a P450 concentration was 0.5 μM in all experiments and the ligand concentration represents the saturating or maximum concentration used.

  • b Direction of signal change as the titration progresses.

  • c ΔAmax is given for saturation of the high-KS/low-affinity site followed by the high-affinity/low-KS site. In some cases, saturation of the high-KS site was not possible without resulting in high DMSO concentrations or precipitation of the enzyme.

  • d Not determined, or ligand absorbance prevented characterization.

  • e No distinct peak is observable in difference spectra due to decrease in intensity or lack of red-shift of the low-spin Soret band; baseline was used in calculating ΔAmax and KS.
