  1. kpNP and kcofactor are the turnover frequencies for, respectively, the production pNP from the substrate 10-pNCA in the presence of cofactors and the consumption of cofactors in the presence of 10-pNCA at the oxidase domain. Data for the catalytic constants were extracted from the slope of concentration with respect to time, obtained between t = 10 s and 20 s. Data are presented as means ± SD where n = 3
