  • a Coumarin concentrations were 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 100, 200, and 500 μM; NNK concentrations were 0.5, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 200, and 300 μM; and (S)-NNN concentrations were 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 750, and 1000 μM. Products were detected by UV-HPLC (coumarin) or radioflow-HPLC (NNK and NNN). Details are described under Materials and Methods.

  • b Km values for all substrates were significantly different for CYP2A13 N297A compared with CYP2A13 (P < 0.03).

  • c α-Hydroxylation was quantified as the sum of methyl and methylene hydroxylation that occurred in a ratio of 1:3 at all NNK concentrations.
