  • 5-a  Percent reversibility determined from percent recovery of purified PON1 type Q arylesterase activity of samples preincubated with lactam, which was then removed by Centricon wash.

  • 5-b  Approximate IC50 values determined by titrating inhibition of PON1 type Q arylesterase activity and recording lactam concentrations at which 50% inhibition was observed.
