Substrate concentrations were 15 to 500 μM. The reaction was performed in the absence or presence of 100 μM effectors.Km1, Km2, andVmax2 were calculated by a modified two-site equation (Vmax1 = 0) V = (Vmax2S2/Km1Km2)/(1 + S/Km1Km2) (Korzekwa et al., 1998)Km and Vmax were calculated from the Michaelis-Menten equation V =Vmax/(1 + (Km/S)).
