  1. Mutated residues are in bold. Relative activity to the wild-type (WT) was determined from reducing sugars obtained from sucrose only, measured via DNS assay. Quercetin conversion was calculated from HPLC analysis.
  2. aStandard deviations calculated from 3 replicates.
  3. bMutant F′9 exhibit the unexpected additional mutation A2162E.
  4. cMutant H’5 exhibit the unexpected additional mutation D2164E.
