  1. Ec-KARI6E6 mutant: A71S, R76D, S78D, Q110V; Se-KARIDD mutant: S61D, S63D; Se-KARIDDV mutant: S61D, S63D, I95V.
  2. Sac-KARI: The Michaelis-Menten constants for the cofactors were measured with appropriate dilutions of NADPH and NADH (0.01~0.22 mM) in the presence of saturating concentrations of substrate 2S-AL (5 mM), 10 mM MgSO4 and 100 mM potassium phosphate at pH 8.0. Mr-KARI: the kinetic parameters measured at 50 °C.
