  • aAverage fraction bound at each enzyme concentration was calculated from three independent experiments, plotted vs. enzyme concentration to calculate KD using Equation 2.

  • bKD values for ScThg1 were calculated using only two independent experiments.

  • cA lower limit to KD was estimated for DdiTLP4 and BtTLP based on the highest enzyme concentration used in the assays.
