  • BA, benzamidine; BAO, benzamidoxime.

  • a Each mARC protein was incubated in duplicate and measured twice by HPLC. Kinetic parameters were determined as described in Materials and Methods.

  • b Statistical significant decrease of Vmax compared with WT (P < 0.050, ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s post hoc test; Sigma Plot 11.0)
