Kinetic parameters of berberine demethylenation and 10-demethylation by CYP1A1 and CYP1B1

Kinetic parameters were determined by the nonlinear regression analysis according to each kinetic pattern, as described in Materials and Methods. Data represent the values and the estimated variances (denoted by ±).
