Steady-state kinetic analysis of the oxidation of model substrates by human and chimpanzee CYP3A4 in the absence and presence of 25 μM ANF

The variation between two experiments is ≤20%. The experiments were carried out simultaneously for more accurate comparison between human (Hum) and chimpanzee (Chimp) CYP3A4 (+ or – ANF).
