↵b Details of QconCAT design, expression and quality control can be found in Russell et al. (2013) and Achour et al. (2015).
↵c At least two peptide sequences were selected for each UGT enzyme in each of the two laboratories; the sequences shown here are those selected for the quantification process (Fallon et al., 2013a; Russell et al., 2013).
