TABLE 3

The bisubstrate enzyme kinetic parameters of 4-MU glucuronidation by UGT1A9

The data were interpreted by compulsory-order, ternary-complex mechanism based on steady-state assumption (eqs. 7 and 8). The values represent a best-fit result ± S.E. The calculated 95% CI are presented in the parenthesis. The reaction velocity is given per milligram of total protein in UGT1A9-enriched insect cell membranes. See Materials and Methods for additional details.
