Lysates containing equivalent amounts of wild-type or mutant carboxylase protein (as determined by a quantitative Western analysis) were assayed for conversion of KH2 to KO (epoxidase activity) or for incorporation of [14C]-CO2 into a Glu substrate (carboxylase activity). Epoxidase activity was quantitated by reference to a KO standard, and carboxylase activity was determined by using a specific activity of 50 cpm/pmol for [14C]-CO2.
